Shot my first roll of Kentmere 400 and developed in 1:1 D-76, and got some uneven development in the sky. Anyone getting uneven development like this?

Mine’s all been fine. Is it a scanner artefact?

Good to hear Kentmere 400 in D76 has been fine for you. No, the unevenness in the sky is not from scanning. For this first roll, I agitated every 30 seconds per Kodak’s D76 recommendation, but that may be the cause of my uneven development. I noticed Ilford recommends agitation once every minute for their B&W films, so agitation at once every 30 seconds was likely too frequent. I will try once every minute next time.

I've never used D-76, but I haven't seen anything like that either using LegacyPro L110. For what it's worth, I'm doing 30 seconds of initial agitation, and then three gentle inversions (about 10 seconds worth) every minute thereafter. Hopefully it's just an agitation issue!
