Two different films, same dev. time, would you soup them together?

I have some T-Max 400 and FP4. Both require 8 minutes in D-76. Would you soup them together in the same tank?

Just wondering... You guys have the experience, I have the questions.

Have a nice one! 🙂

yep.
should be no problem.

although...when i tried tmax (about a hundred years ago) it seemed to do much better in tmax developer.

I'd go for it. BTW, I've gotten the best results from Tmax with D-76. But then, I really don't like Tmax much either...

Same chemistry, birds of a feather...

Jorge:

I do it all the time, but I prefer TMAX 100 over the 400. The 400 is not as good as TriX. The TM100 is a very good film, sort of in between Panatomic X and Plus X. FP4 is also a favorite of mine and I use it frequently. Currently I'm trying out some Fomapan 200, which I've never used and I still have no idea what my development times should be with D761:1. I prefer the 1:1 dilution as it doubles the mileage for a gallon of it. Plus I can't see any difference in negative quality between straight and 1:1.

Back to your question. If two films require the same development times in D76 there is no reason I can think of to develop them separately, thus using twice as much developer in the doing.

Good! It was my hunch too, but I'm new to this so I prefer to ask.

BTW, I'm running to a store near town to get some HCA. I'll check if they carry bags of T-Max developer too.

tmax dev is liquid.
