I used Microdol-X to develop black and white films, largely Tri-X with good results twenty five years ago. I have begun to develop my own films again and been using D-76 and T-Max Film 400. I am interested in black and white as a high speed film. Microdol-X I see is listed as a fine grain developer (good) but there appears to be little interest in it. What is wrong with Microdol-X as a developer to standardize on? I was not impressed with the grain in D-76 T-Max 400. A second question, what is a good developer for Ilford 3200 shot at 1600-3200 if not Microdol-X?(posted 8669 days ago)Appreciate any information from your experience.
