Response to What fast film for given developers

from John Hicks (jhicks31@bellsouth.net)
> pushing Delta 400 to EI 800 in Ilfosol-S. I strongly recommend to find that discussion and consider test shooting before the real wedding. I think ID-11 1+1 would also be a good candidate for this

I've wandered back to D-76H; I feel that although Ilfosol-s is a perfectly fine developer it really wasn't giving me anything significant I wasn't getting with D-76H plus carried the disadvantage of wondering if the stock had gone bad in the bottle.

To specifically address the question, I'm really impressed with how well Delta 400 pushes to EI 800 in D-76H 1:1, I think a little more gracefully than HP5+ although I don't hesitate to use HP5+ that way either.

A key factor is that the film will be lab-processed; imho that definitely requires some testing in advance.
