The reference recommends starting the developing process at 70 degrees F., allowing it to cool to 68 degrees during development (dd-x developer). Is it common to allow for 2 degrees of cooling during development, or is it more typical to start at 68 degrees? My first roll of Ilford Delta 100 seemed to work well as suggested (12 minutes), now I'm going to develop a couple of rolls of Delta 400 and plan to start it at 70 degrees (8 minutes). Also, can I plan on both rolls in a 2-roll tank to develop evenly or will the 30-second pour time allow the bottom roll to develop more strongly than the top roll?
