What is DD-X?  How do you expose the Delta 400 and what is your starting point 
for time and temp with DD-X?

I was a Tri-X man for quite some time before I took a photo hiatus.  Back then, 
I exposed at EI 200 and then souped in either HC-110 dilution B or Rodinal 
1:50.  I really liked what Rodinal did with tonal range, though it was a PITA 
to mix and use.  Not a fine grain developer (understatement!), but the grain 
had great acutance and thus the negs were sharp enough to cut your fingers when 
you handled them. <g>

Schnozz, what is your recipe for Pan F?

Earl
