I had much more printable highlights, and a softer overall curve, using the standard soup-mix. Shadow detail was still good, I think the major benefits were in highlight control. I have had less than stellar results with Delta films though, and have not done the full regimen of experimentation that I should on FP4 or HP5. But, the Pan F worked very well using the standard times and temps, and I also went a little longer (10%) and saw almost no difference. It is a nice, convenient developer, but not my general purpose soup (still looking for that ideal developer for daily use - ID11 is the closest I have come so far).
