Let me add to Schnozz's hymn of praise: I don't normally use foul language, 
but for my money, DD-X used with Delta 100 may just be the best f&ck!ng 
developer/film combination in the history of the human race.  Period.  If 
you believe otherwise, you are either (a) unfamiliar with the combination 
or (b) insane.  IMNSHO.  8^>
