My results way back with Rodinal and Delta 100 when it first came out were
terrible so I went back to Pan F.(in Rodinal)
When I discovered Xtol I found Delta to be the best deal.
I does not seem less sharp than Pan F in Rodinal (it may be though) and it is
less grainy at twice the speed.
Perhaps your results will vary. I was diluting 1:50. I always considered 1:25 to
be a waste you might as well use D76 1:1 but you might use it anyway for the
convenience of only stocking one liquid one shot.
If you were sticking to liquids I'd try the Ilford DDX. Kills em dead I hear
with advanced Phenidone! (but no ascorbic acid to make sure that kid gets to school)
