I want to process my own motion picture film. Both super8 & 16mm. I have years of experience with processing roll films & sheet films, but most of this was using HC110, T-Max or Microdol-X. I need to main- tain high film speeds but I do not want major grain. Some recomend- ations would be great. What about D-76 for motion pictures? Or even X-tol (I have never used this developer)? I will be developing B&W negative so reversal is not a question. Thanks...

I asked in film school and I think they use D 90 for motion picture b&w. I thought if I could get my hands on a 1200 ft roll of film, it would never run out, but they said at the lab that I'd really have to experiment with processing in regular b&w chemicals.
