Diapers 'n Film
Nah, ddx is Ilford's high speed. HP5 is grainier by nature than the modern-stock Tri-X, and this was important work I needed to be able to use big. I enlarged a shot to 16x20 and thats about where that particular combination gets me (DDX pushing HP5 to 3200)
Here's a rough scan:

That was about three or four years ago. Nowadays I'm shooting a lot more tri-x and the grain is so absent from the modern stock that I can use D76 for 1600 pushes all day long and it looks good!
I also push rarely enough that I didn't want to have to keep a special developer that might go bad on the shelf
Got it, thanks, and how do you feel about tmy pushed in d76?

Honestly, I don't use the TMY films much. I've had decent results with TMY 100 in rodinal, never tried any of them in D76
