Two emulsions but same tank.

I recently developed TMAX100 and Tri-X in the same tank with D-76, 1:1 about 9.5 minutes and was very satisfied. The 100TMX in particular gave me one of the most pleasing prints I've developed. I think I shot both at box speed.

The 100TMX shot is here:

What other films do you develop together. I've be interested in something I could throw in that's pushed, maybe shoot a 3200 speed film?

Any films that use the same developing times in the developer you use can be developed together with no problem.

Yup, yup...do it all the time...

Done it a few times no probs.

I do it with a 1 hour stand development in an 8 reel tank. Sometumes I'll have four or five different films in the tank, all done one hour with Rodinal 1:100. works like a charm.

This.

Although I only use 2 reel tanks I develop all films in Rodinal 1+100 or Caffenol-C-L.

Not that simple

Really. Agitation, size of tank. Wondering what works for folks, not what we can read off a chart, including pushed combinations.

At the time being I develop only by standing method using Rodinal 1:100, so - push or pull recipe apart - there are some film intermix in the tank.
Once, when I used standard method with different film developers/time, sometimes - for practical purposes - I even put different film with different developing time in the same tank: the trick was the "Orchestra leader solution" puting at the bottom of the tank the film(s) with the longest developing time, stacking the other films accordingly; after which pouring the exact amount of solution to soup the longest one(s) and then starting agitation by means of sweet reels oscillation with the rotary agitator rod and taking into account of time difference with following film in the pile, in order to submerge it (them) just in time by adding new developer, continuing so on. I never had any trouble in doing so.

Or just develop your film in the darkroom with the lights out.

If you have two films, one requiring 11 minutes and the other 9 minutes, turn the lights out after 2 minutes, open the tank, and plop the second film in. Works very well. If you have a very large tank, you may need to have empty reels in it to fill up the empty space and replacing them with loaded reels.

Personally, I understand why other people use standing development, but I don't get along with the results, so it's all normal agitation for me using time and agitation as my tools of developing good negatives.

I should say that I don't scan for final output. I only print in the darkroom.
