I usually try to develop to a bit higher contrast to use gradation 1 paper. But, as the advertisements of the industry assure us, you have to listen to unnecessary desires and buy other stuff, thus I ended up with an Ilford Delta 400. I develop in ORWO R09 (p-Aminphenol, sort of Rodinal-ish), but the negatives appear to be flat. I used dilution 1+40 at 20C, 13 minutes, like said on the developers instruction (actually I used the Classic F09 instructions). The Efke (also classical film) developed in F09/R09 works fine. Is there something wrong with the developer or is it a feature of T-grain/core shell technology? After this, I'll stick to conventional films (except for Kodak TMZ). Cheers, Peter.
