Not much to add. Either Plus-X or APX 100 in D-76 (don't believe Agfa's times, they're too long! I do it 9 min at 68, 1:1 dilution and 1-minute agitation.) would be a good bet. Rodinal's even older than D- 76, so you could go that route too.(posted 8668 days ago)Take care with your image-making apart from the film used: Avoid using electronic flash, go with "hard" lights (photofloods, theatrical spots) or window light if you're doing portraiture. Using an old camera or lens would surely help too (but old doesn't have to be ancient: a Nikon with a non-AI lens would be nice.) Wide-angles weren't much used back then, go for longer lenses. If shooting outdoors, try to avoid including recent buildings or cars...
Sounds like a fun project!
