T-Max films have the tabular grain structure which give a smoother less grainy look but do not seem to be quite as sharp as the old style films (more digital looking).
Either range of films can be developed in the other's developer, but seem to lose something of their usual look when you do that.
I prefer Ilfords ID-11, sort of an improved D-76, over D-76 but they are basically interchangeable. In the old days I always used Edwal FG-7, a liquid developer that can be used with virtually any film, and gets good results especially when pushing film speed a bit. Now I am about to start using Agfa Rodinol simply because it is the cheapest developer to use one-shot which is the only way for an occasional shooter to go in my opinion.

I need more film developer,not enough of the Tmax to do two rolls, and i thought i might
give D76 a try this time. I also would like to pick up a few rolls of Tri-x and see how they perform.
Does D 76 do a good job on Tri-x AND T-max or should i get one of each and be selective.
Also the Kodak site shows Tri-x is iso 320 and 400. No iso 100 or 200.?? I realize i can
pull if need be,but just curious as to the absence of the lower speeds.
