Mamiya 6 + 65mm and b&w dev advice

[optique]

I would like to hear from someone who is developing b&w film, preferably for this camera and lens.

Using d-76 1:1 and delta 100 and 400, what is the developing time that is working for this camera?

I was thinking about trying:

Delta 100 EI 50 at 9.5min as per Ilford.
Delta 400 EI 200 at 10min as per Ilford.

All shots hand metered. Most of my work is sunny, contrasty scenes.

Any and all info appreciated.
Steve.

Google "digital truth" and/or "massive development chart" for film/developer times.

Using d-76 1:1 and delta 100 and 400, what is the developing time that is working for this camera?

It doesn't matter what camera exposes the film.

Unless the lenses have something wrong with them, but that is unlikely to have that huge of an impact.

http://www.digitaltruth.com for the MDC. Adding a stop of exposure for D76 1+1 seems excessive. You can probably shoot no lower than 1/3 of a stop and be fine with that soup.

As a photographic archivist specialising in b/w processing I can say in your case that the only area of impact on which way you process is the method of exposure. Do you expose for the highlights, shadows, spot meter or just on board camera center weighted average? If the latter then be guided by the dev. times mentioned with the film for D-76 ( which are usually the same for ID-11 ) Your aggitation may be a factor but this will only affect contrast slightly.
If you have any specific b/w developing questions still then please do not hesitate to give me a PM.
