Xtol Woes

Thanks for all the responses. I think I'm officially confused now. 😛

I'll be souping some more stuff with Xtol again in a week or so and I'll study this thread again before I do. I had a real dog's breakfast of film that I developed a month ago (8rolls incl TMX100, TriX at 320, TriX at 1000 and one roll of Neopan 1600 at 1000) this in a new developer spells disaster and I got off lucky I think. With D76 for over a year in my first year of developing I found that I needed to develop for longer than Kodak was advertising on their site. Maybe I was wrong with something else but this was my conclusion after many rolls of film. I started doing test shots of sunny 16 situations and using them later after development to test my development times. I found with D76 + TriX @15% more development time gave me better results. Correct me if you see a hole in my methodology.

I'll attach two photos from the TMax100 roll and maybe you can tell me what you see.
