[Leica] Not a good week

[David Degner <ddegner@morris.com>]

When my plus-x ran out I decided to switch to Delta 100 (a friend told me 
to).  I have developed 5 or 6 rolls now and still am not getting what I 
want.  I have tried the 1:3 dilution for 15-12 minutes and the 1:1 for 8:10 
minutes ARRRGGG. Nothing is coming out right.  So I come to you in 
grief.  I have heard the praises of Delta 100 but am starting to hate it 
myself.  I posted a few scans so that you can see what it is coming out 
as.  They scanned contrastier than the originals (and look better that way) 
but If you could point out to me what might be wrong(I can not seem to see 
it for myself right now).

I did have one bright spot.  After a week of shooting color for 
school(waiting for my Delta 100 to come in).  I got back many good 
photos.  The one that I like the most though follows.  It looks almost 
posed, but actually the boy had been talking to a friend and then the 
friend had to go home, so he was just standing there.  In the original the 
bars are grey with detail instead of black and his hair is detailed(what's 
wrong with my 
scanner).  http://www.geocities.com/david_degner/gallery/good_1.html .

Tommorrow must be a better day.
