Delta in Diafine?

[dreilly]

Does anyone (or has anyone) shot Delta films in Diafine? Heard not so good things online, but thought maybe somebody had a contrary opinion?

Icky combination. No speed increase (actually some decrease I think) and a really muddy look the couple of times I tried it. Stick to conventional films for Diafine and if you have some delta, D-76 it.

I tried Delta 100 in Rodinal 1+50 - very good tonality but increased grain, not so pleasant (unless you need high apparent sharpness) as Delta 100 in home made dual bath developer which I use almost always. See Denny Purtee's post here for formula, if interested. Negatives come out pretty good for printing on agfa rc paper. I guess diafine should give similar result. If I had diafine for my usual workflow I'd try it with Delta; though I'd not buy diafine specificaly for Delta.

Thanks for the comments. I saw some scans on Flickr that were Delta 400 in Diafine, and they didn't look too bad. I'll try it.

I've shot TMax 100, EI 160, with Diafine and like it. There's some shots in my gallery with it:

If the Delta acts the same way, you might like it.
