Marty, this is not at all far-fetched. It is well documented that D76/ID11 increases in activity after extended storage, in particular if kept in partially-filled bottles. Ian Grant alerted me to this here some time ago (not sure I can find that post again, however). Since then I always make sure to store it in full bottles. EDIT: found the thread here http://www.film-and-darkroom-user.or...ad.php?t=12389 Terry - this may be what is at work here, if indeed that D76 of yours spent some time in a half-empty bottle. Hope this helps....

What seems clearer is the statement by a member called PE( now deceased unfortunately) that activity may increase over the first 24 hours but thereafter remains stable If Ian Grant mentions this increase on PH and therefore activity in half filled bottles I can't find it Mike |

Mike - I'm pretty sure Ian mentioned it to me at some point, but likely in a different post/thread.

Developing film at 1+3 at the correct capacity for the film involves a certain amount of developer exhaustion, as the developer at that dilution is close to its limits of capacity.
With a larger reservoir of developer solution to draw upon, the developer exhaustion becomes insignificant. However, it shouldn't make a great deal of difference. If the film is significantly over developed, it is more likely something else was amiss in your process - developer temperature is the most likely culprit ? Martin |

Thanks to everyone who replied and apologies on a late reply, due to just being a bit busier than usual.
So onto your individual points... Quote:

So, I'll have a go at printing some of the negatives soon and see how much the grain and contrast are affected. From this information, I will see if it is preferential to make up a new batch of the developer in the future, if I end up with too little to use it at my usual 1+1. Thanks once more for all the replies. Much appreciated. Terry S |

Like others here, Terry, I always develop 35mm film in 500ml of solution, and it's fine, and that was with ID11 when I was trying, and my normal Rodinal, it's easier to measure the larger amount at 1/50 in Rodinal,
