Hi Guys ... I've been using ID-11 almost exclusively for a few months, and it is a little "hotter" than D-76. IOW, some charts will suggest that ID-11 and D-76 be used for the same amount of time for a given emulsion. In that scenario ID-11 seems to give me slightly overdeveloped negs - not by a lot, but enough to make printing highlights a PITA some times. I've knocked a minute off ID-11 times in some situations in order to get better quality negs. Pay careful attention to the contrast range in whatever scene you're shooting.
As Mr. Wheatfield suggests, always test your film/developer/exposure combinations. Don't take anything you read here, or anywhere else, no matter how authoritative the source may be, as correct. There are just too many variables in B&W processing. William Robb wrote: > In theory, ID-11 and D-76 are interchangable. In practice, they > are slightly different in activity.
