I would like to collect developing times for the new Delta 400 film to put on my web site. Please include developer, time, temperature, agitation technique, exposure index, and comments.

To see the format in which the times are presented, go to http://unblinkingeye.com/Articles/Times/times.html.

EI400 in Ilford DD-X, 1:9, 20C, 10mins 30secs, initial 'martini' shake then 3 inversions/min. (no testing involved at deriving this time... YMMV!)

EI 400...XTOL 2 to 1 15mins @ 20 deg celcius .Agitiation by inversion for first 30 seconds then 15 seconds per minute. Nice results with 35mm. I have yet to find a good time for 6X6.

EI 320 in regular strength PMK for 16 minutes at 70F in Paterson small tank. Agitation by end-over-end tank inversions with continuous agitation for the first 30 seconds followed by 2 inversions every 15 seconds.

Has anyone got times for downrating this film (perhaps to 320, 250 and 200)? I usually use Ilfotec DD-X, but would be interested in knowing downrated times using any developer. It can be useful to have times for N-1 developing...

For rating this film at 200, look at the Ilford website for the pdf file for this film (always a good place to start!)

There are dev times there for new Delta 400 for 16 different developers at EI=200 .
