- I've used D-76, both 1:1 and straight, with T-Max 100 and 400
- for years now. I find it gives excellent results, especially in
- maintaining a tight grain structure. When I took a workshop on T-Max a
- few years back the lecturer from Kodak stated that T-Max was
- originally formulated with D-76 as THE developer. T-Max developer was
- formulated after-the-fact when it was shown that they needed a liquid
- based developer to get the best results when pushing the film.
