Universal standard film developer
You can't really go wrong with D-76 if you simply follow the instructions and develop for the recommended times. It has been a standard developer of choice for decades for home users and organisations. As an unopened packet of powder it will keep for a few years in dry conditions. Once mixed to its stock solution it will keep for a few months in a reasonably full tightly lidded bottle or plastic chemical container. D-76 has a lot of flexibility for processing different films for different 'effects'. For example, using undiluted stock solution will result in smoother grain, whereas 1:3 dilution can produce grittier/grainier looking images. Dilution, temperature and time can be used to compensate for differing film speeds to the recommended settings and for different lighting conditions: it is the developer which determines the 'look' of your negatives and the more experience you gain the more you can appreciate the impact of how you use it. A 'good' standard method, if you are new to film developing, is exposing your film at manufacturers suggested rating, e.g. Ilford HP-5 Plus at 400 ISO developed in D-76 at a 1:1 dilution, (discarded after single use). If, after shooting in 'normal' lighting conditions (regular daylight), your negatives look a bit thin, resulting in dark prints - then changing the film speed to a slower meter setting for your next roll of film, e.g ISO 200, 250 or 320 for HP-5 Plus will result in denser more normal looking negatives developing in the same way. I thought I might outline how D-76 can be used if you haven't used it before and I can absolutely recommend it as a black and white film developer based on my 37 years of experience. My preferred use is exactly as I have outlined it above (1:1 at a slower film speed) and any tonal alterations I make at the printing stage. This is a simple outline of the developers properties and your use may vary, try it and tweak until you are satisfied with your results, my method may not work for you, and that is part of the individualistic, creative nature of using film. Happy shooting and if in doubt, read the first sentence again.
