Response to Advice: BW film/dev combo in the 100 & 400 range?

from Michael Feldman (mfeldman@qwest.net)
Idan, The reason for wanting to know about your camera is that any recommendation has to take into account the negative size. Since you are working with 35mm, then you definitely want to choose carefully to minimize grain and maximize sharpness. I think many people would say that TMX and Delta 100 are good choices for your requirements. Rodinal does not produce the finest grain possible, but has excellent sharpness. To minimize grain with Rodinal, try 1:75 or 1:100 dilutions. You might also want to try another developer such as XTOL 1:1 or higher dilution. I personally like FP4+ with Rodinal, but that may be too much grain for 35mm.

The following web site has various development times:
