I wish I remembered what the formulas consisted of, but it's been almost 12
years since I last used them. I do remember that I used Crawley's a lot on
the 320 ISO Tri X in 120 format. I always diluted it 1:3 and developed for
around 16 minutes. The resulting images were glorious... if you're a detail
hog like me.

Several Phenidone formulas will give you about a stop over D-76.
Microphen is very similar to D-76 but using Phenidone. There is a numbered
Ilford formula that is even closer. Xtol and T-Max RS are also Phenidone
with a speed gain over D-76 Kodak has a proprietary version of Phenidone
they call Dimezone (cheap part of the side show).

DEAR BOB,
I am looking at the 3rd Edition of Anchell's
DARKRUM...OOPS...DARKROOM COOKBOOK and at the bottom of P 230 and
continuing to the top of P 231 there is Geoffrey Crawley's formula FX 11
(1961) which is described as, "This formula produces at least a one-stop
true speed increase with grain and sharpness similar to Kodak D-76". As
it contains Phenidone and Glycine as well as Hydroquinone, it is quite
different from D-76 in formulation.
I need to see if I still have some Phenidone but I know I have
Glycine and HQ. Would be fun to try it.
CHEERS!

Tim, if you ever get the time and feel inclined to see what a developer
can truly do, you might want to get a copy of the dark room cookbook and
make some Crowley's recipes from scratch. I don't remember the recipe
number offhand, but Crowley's replacement for D76 at 1:3 is the most killer
developer I've ever used. Vasilios Zatse, Irving Penn's last studio manager
was the guy that turned me on to it. It's miracle juice!

Or possibly rating it at the 400 box speed (rather than say 250 or 320)
I would note that - then I don't have time to test - I routinely expose
at 1/2 the rated ASA and underdevelop about 20% from nominal. In the
case of my recent good HP5+ results, I exposed at ASA 200 and developed
in DK-50 1:1 for 7 minutes.
