Response to Feedback on new Delta 400.

Just shot 4 rolls of new Delta 400 as a test with DD-X and XTol 1:1. First two rolls were developed in DD-X 1:4 and XTol 1:1 for Ilford's recommended times at 20C (don't have them with me now). With my equipment, DD-X gave EI400 and XTol gave EI250, although the zone 8 dmax of the XTol roll is a bit lower than I like (1.2 vs my preferred 1.3-1.4) I'll develop another test roll with XTol a bit longer to get the dmax up and see if there's any effect on EI.

My earlier tests of HP5+, old 400 Delta, and TMY in XTol 1:1 resulted in EI320 for HP5+, EI200 for old 400 Delta, and EI250-320 for TMY, indicating that the new Delta 400 is somewhat faster than the old.
