The reason for using it with 400 is to cut back highlight development while maintaining overall development and it does that very well. Generally when using 2 bath developers you use the same or very similar times for most films. I suspect that Delta 100 would work well but I am happy with it in DDX so I can't say from experience. If you try it let us hear how it works for you. Best, Henry >I've just noticed this thread and apolgies if I have missed something...
