and am generally pleased with how easy it is to use. Development times are longer than D-76, but that doesn't really bother me at all.

Two from a roll of Delta 100:

Ilford DD-X is a liquid concentrate film developer. Kodak D-76 is a powdered developer you must mix to your desired concentration in a large volume. Since I only shoot 120/220 format film now, I have several 500mL bottles for my chemistry. It's more convenient for me to mix to that capacity (which happens to be exactly what I need to develop a roll of film in either of my tanks), and it's easier to do that with liquid concentrate. I mix the DD-X in a 1:4 ratio of developer to water. 100mL DD-X, 400mL water and GO!
 
Nice comp/developing.... I'm turning into a fan of the Delta 100 myself. I suppose you're also forcing me to start searching Craigslist for a double 35mm tank/metal reel setup. :doh:

Just troll CL for a MF camera and forget about the 35mm stuff :trust:
