Notes from 18th Feb 2003
[posted at 11:00 GMT]    

So I developed Ilford Delta 400 and HP5. Both very nice films. Much stronger base comparing to TMY & Fuji. As I used non-hardering Ilford FIX for all films I can see that Ilford films are stronger they do not round as Kodak or Fuji does.
The base is a little bit darker than Kodak one. I have no idea how it will effect scaning as do not have scanner with me here. Pictures I did in SK in winter are full of tones and Delta is handling overexposing very well. Few shots agains the Sun are much better than I had with TMY.
Negatives for both films are nice full maybe little bit too dense, just little. I will see how does it effect scanning one I am back home.
Developing procedure I used for Delta 400:
     xtol 1:1 @ 20C 400ml

 1 x 30sec   - non-stop inversion
11 x 60sec   - 4 inversion in 10sec slow
And for HP5:
     xtol 1:1 @ 20C 400ml

 1 x 30sec   - non-stop inversion
11 x 60sec   - 4 inversion in 10sec slow
 1 x 30sec   - no inversion
