Kodak D-76 is a classic black and white powdered film developer that makes the most of the rated speed of the film and offers normal contrast in addition to excellent shadow detail. D-76 produces fine grain with most black and white films.

For greater sharpness but with a slight increase in grain size, dilution 1:1 can be used. The flexible development times and thinning options also make D-76 an ideal film developer for developing underexposed (pushed) films with low loss of quality.
