delta 100 in Pyrocat HD

Anyone have a developing time for Delta 100 35mm in Pyrocat HD? The Massive Chart says 45 min at 20c. That cannot be right.

I have tested Delta 100 but never actually used it to print VC papers so take my recommendation as a guideline only.

If you plan to print with graded silver papers normal develoment should be about 7:30 minutes at 72º F. For VC papers increase time of develoment to about 10:00 minutes.

These times are based on rotary processing using a 1:1:100 dilution of Pyrocat-HD. If developing in a tank with agitation every 30-60 seconds increase times to about 9:00 for graded papers and to 12:00 for VC papers, at the same temperature.

12 minutes at 72º F with Pyrocat-HD 1+1+100 and minimal agitation is what I used - with good results. This was with Delta 100 120 Rollfilm, nature subjects in varying SBR conditions.
