Subject: [pure-silver] developers and grain
Speaking of grain... is there any perceptible difference
between DDX and D-76 when it comes to grain?
(Somebody suggested that I switch to Tri-X. It was my roll
film for years, but I did a side by side comparison of it
with HP5+ and HP5+ won, when it comes to grain, although
the difference was slight.)

I think you will have to test. If I understand what DDX
is its probably about the same as D-76 with slightly higher
film speed.
The current version of Tri-X is supposed to have
noticably finer grain than the film of a few years ago. Its
worth testing again but I suspect both films are similar.
400T-Max will give you finer grain but will look a bit
different. If you want finer grain and can give up a stop of
speed use 400T-Max in Microdol-X or Perceptol full strength.
The combinationi should give you very fine grain with an
exposure index of about 200.
