Seems to be completely fine now. Last roll came out great. I hated doing everything manually in the camera and leaving some jackass or computer to do the rest, so I just did what seemed logical.

After seeing some of these images, and knowing I can push/pull to my heart's content without having to worry about someone getting it wrong for me (in my basement nonetheless) I'm completely hooked! I used P3200 in D76 for this one.

Use Tmax Developer next time. D-76 is just about the absolute worst developer for Tmax 3200. Tmax Developer gives better tonality, better shadow detail, less grain.
Cool photo though; I love cats.

Thanks! Cats, dogs, and people are pretty much all I shoot. I'll keep that in mind about using TMAX developer. I was actually going for the super high grain look for the 3200 and was happy with the results, but if D-76 is the worst developer for it, the best must be spectacular.
This, on the other hand, was shot on TMAX 400 pushed to 800, and I must say, I can definitely see a difference in tonality in this roll compared to the 3200.
Ever use Delta 400 in D-76? I actually bought all of my darkroom stuff because I liked the results I got from having it developed by "The Darkroom." I wonder what they used.
