I want to use this combination for landscapes but first I want to see some scans of that combination. So please if you have any pic od Delta100 developed in Rodinal post it here...

And if you know developing spec(dil., agg, temp...) please write them.

Thank you

Cheers

Ilford Delta emulsions are new emulsions using the "Core-shell crystal technology" and I don't think Rodinal is the optimum developer for Delta films. You will have better results using Ilford's DD-X or Ilfosol 3.

Delta 100 in Rodinal 1:100 for 19-20 minutes. Agitation every minute for 10 sec.

Another sample of the Delta 100 and Rodinal 1:100. Again 20 minutes with agitation every 60 sec for 8-10 sec. It is easy to punch up the contrast with Rodinal if you over agitate so do some trials first.

I don't have any scans but here is what I do. Ilford delta 120 exposed at iso 80. Rodinal 1+50 (10ml rodinal 500ml distilled water) at 68F for 8 1/2 minutes. Very GENTLE tank inversions for first 30 sec and then 2 gentle inversions every minute after that. I can not stress gentle agitation enought. Rodinal is a very active developer and too much agitation will lead to dense negatives and grain will be more pronounced.

There are many variables but it's a good start.
 
I like Delta films and I like them in Rodinal but I think their box speed on 100 and 400 are about twice what they really are in Rodinal.

people keep saying that neopan 400 is going to get discontinued and Im not sure I dont believe them at this point. I have been working with the ilford Delta films and I like the resolution and the thicker base. But I dont really believe the 100 variety, as good as it is, can really replace Acros for me.
