I used this ISO with a slight push in D-76 one to one for years. I think it works nicely at this speed. AT one time I went to Tmax developer and I kept my film speed, but used that developer. It worked just fine. For most of my personal work, I expose it around 250-320 where I develop it for a whisker less than 10 minutes D-76 1+1 at 68° I think it works great at that indice.
