Hmmm...  I had a recommendation of D-76 1:1 for 11 minutes at 20C (or
was it 70F?) and used a T&T chart based on that recommendation to
process a roll that had been exposed at EI 200.  The actual solution
temperatures were a little below 20C/68F at the time.  The results
were rather thin and extremely flat--so flat I can barely read the
contact sheet (which was made by Kodalux, presumably on a medium-grade
paper).  Since then I've been using D-76 full strength with results
that are rather on the contrasty side, as HIE normally is, except when
I shoot mostlly foliage.

Considering your work, I wouldn't expect you to want low-contrast
negs.  Did I do something wrong?
