The first roll I developped yesterday showed a good tonality range though on the contrasty side. I'll have to agitate less next time. Sharpness is far closer than "ordinary" Delta 100 than Delta 400 and grain is a little bigger but again finer than Delta 400. I like EI 200. I find it's the good value. More versatile than ISO 100 but it does not force you to close the lens as does a 400 film. In bright sun, I can use 1/1000 at f/5.6 and a half. One stop more would give too much depth of field. So far, I'm happy with this compromise. I placed two pictures on my site at http://www.jcberger.com/photography then choose "Papers/Delta 100 at EI 200 project".
