One of the things I am noticing is that D76 is not always D76!  Kodak 
adds stuff to make it more packagable, and may even use things that are 
not in the original formula like phenidone.  Your Super76 is someting 
else altogether.

I have been getting good results with home-mixed D-76 from the original 
formula but that is not for everybody.  I think a lot of what people 
attribute to changes in film emulsions are actually changes in the 
chemistry.
