But I've used a lot of Delta film over the past few years, both 100 and 400, and found that for ordinary printing the Ilford times in their printed materials for HC at 1:31 needed to be reduced about 10% (usual disclaimers about MY darkroom, MY agitation, etc.) I recently decided to try Xtol 1:3, and find that for Delta 100 I get the best results 20-30% below Kodak's published times (in their old data sheet - the one that still had 1:3 times listed.) So if you do decide to try Xtol, I'd recommend you at least test some strips at less than suggested times. Cheers, Kip - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
