Response to Tri-X Development Time in D-76

At 70 deg and 1:1 D-76, I process 35mm Tri-X for 8.5 minutes, with agitation of 5 seconds every 30 seconds (inverting the tank twice). Obviously, if you tend to vary from EI 400 because of how you meter, etc., you may have to do a little different. But I can't imagine 12.5 minutes giving anything but really too-contrasty negatives. Of course, you should try what your instructor suggests, just ot see what happens, or at least look at what another student gets. Part of photography is experimenting with everything.
