Softer and more creamy.

Somewhat better, but not perfect, on the other hand. I like the results.

Ilford Delta 400, developed in D-76 in 14 minutes, 4 inversions every minute, and fixed in Ilford Rapid Fixer.

I'm getting better!
Next thing to do, is to try out TMAX Developer. From what I understand, you can make a gallon (3,8 liters) of the bottle, and then use as a multishot developer? Would be nice and fun to try something new 🙂

If you want smooth grain free photos, T Max 100 is the hands down winner without going into exotic copy film or the like.

D76 will work fine as it was the developer used when the film was designed.

I'll try that 🙂

I haven't had good luck with Exotic Copy film tonally, but it is smooth:

Both 35mm.

If you can find it in your country, I suggest Adox CHS (25 or 50 ASA, never tried the 100).
That film has a very nice mid-tones rendering that will give you a look that is softer without being really soft (as in out of focus-kinda "soft").

John, that is just beautiful!

Thanks, perfect light, and everything worked at the exposure, development end. I wish I had a larger format camera though.

I should have mentioned, people do like their sonnar lenses around these parts for the look. Here is an example from a Jupiter 8.

Sonnar lens or 1.5 Summarit + shade if you can find a good one. My Sumarit is a lovely lens.
