Since I am too lazy to do testing, I would like to know what results were obtained with divided developers in T-grain films. With TX400 grain diminution was sacrificed for gradation. I also used "Dalzell-Stockler" and "Defarbler" with excellent resules--mostly DeFarbler, which was designed by a columnist for Camera 35. This developer did not require temperature use adjustment.....just throw it on the film and wait for a couple of minutes. It was excellent for contrasty situations, and when I was lazy and didn't want to compute a time and temperature scheme. Like a sheep, I have used TMax developer without question and I have not tested divided developers for film recently because the chemicals have not been readily available. If divided D-76 works like a charm I woild like to hear about it.----Marshall
