Response to Pyro for low grain

from John Hicks (jbh@magicnet.net)
I found it to give somewhat more graininess and lower acutance than D-76 1:1 or Xtol 1:1 with HP5+.

Although it has definite advantages for those who are into alt printing and for "heroic measures" contractions when printing on VC paper, imho it has more disadvantages than advantages.

So, I recommend D-76 1:1. Yes there are other fine-grain developers such as Microdol-X, Perceptol and D-25 but there's such a speed loss that rather than using them you'd be better off to just shoot Delta 100 and develop it in D-76 or Xtol.
