I bought a folder couple weeks ago(Bessa I). So to try it out I rummaged trough my fridge to find long expired rolls of film.I found three rolls of Tmax400 four years old also I found one roll of Delta 100.First two rolls I developed in Pyro-HD and found I had a light leak. After I fixed that I shut a roll of Tmax and because my Pyro is about Year old I did not trust it to develop next two rolls. I used next best thing Rodinal I found the time to develop it I used delusion 1:50 for12 min normal agitation. The negative came out great even though light was flat.Next I used Delta 100 I never used this film before and this is what this thread is all about. I looked through the APUG for couple hours to find times to develop this film. Finally I decided to use Rodinal with extreme minimal agitation. And low and behold I was amazed with the results.What a wonderful film with this developer combination.I developed it for 25 min Rodinal 1:100 with initial 15 sec inversions and then every 8 min couple inversions till time expired. Simply wonderful I was always wondering if Fuji cuts Acros 100 what I am going to use. This is it Delta 100 in Rodinal I just wanted to share this with everybody.
Cheers Greg

What did thr Rodinal do to the grain? The point of Delta 100 was very little grain. Are the negs grainy?

If you like it in Rodinal, try it in Aculux 2!

Thanks Jim
I was blown away with the results. Mark totaly no grain that I could see with magnifying glass. I have to print negatives to confirm that. With TMax 400 and Rodinal 1:50 and normal agitation and developing time you can see grain not huge but noticeable.This kind of results I was getting from Fuji Acros and Rodinal as well as Fuji Acros and Pyro-HD.
Frank I am so in baby steps yet even though I have been doing B/W for three years now, much more to learn. Thanks guy's for your replies.
