Tri-X in D-76 is pretty forgiving, you can soup in a bathroom and pretty
much time it with your pulse. Learned to do that in a Photojournalism
course taught by a semi-retried Photo-Editor from the Providence
Journal. Except for the fact that that the film used was 35mm rather
than 4x5 it was a technique that wouldn't have been alien to Weegee.
Let me see now, what was my point... Oh, yes. Pick a film and
developer combination, and learn it, until getting constant results is
second nature. Then branch out.

Just understood how cheaper it was to process film in house.
Got material from my brother, just needed the chemical part.
Got developper + fixer for 30 Euros, dunno if it is about a right
price or not...
I can process 40 35mm films with that, compared to 6 euros per film
when dropped to my reseller. Ouch !
BTW, just found out there're a couple nice apps helping, at least on iPhone.
The Massive Dev Chart, ( http://www.digitaltruth.com ) is available
with complete database of developper/film times, stopwatch etc.
Very impressive.
