I ran out of enough D76 to develop a couple of film sheets. I had enough to make a 1+2 dilution, and after some looking at processing charts I came up with a number of minutes, and it worked. Efke 25, shot at EI of 50, processed in D76 1+2 for 10 minutes. I have no idea what this did or didn't do for me, but I got a printable negative.http://www.flickr.com/photos/elroustom/4162498158/ Elias
Ilford gives times for ID-11 at 1:3 dilution. They are at least a guide for D-76. At this dilution the developer begins to produce acutance effects (adjacency effects). I've tried it in the past but don't quite like the results.
