Response to Film Dev Combination

I suggest: Delta 400 exposed at 400, Xtol 1:2 for10 minutes at 70F. This should meet your needs for shadow detail and maintenance of highlights. If you find this is not contrasty enough then add a little time. The only time I have trouble with Delta 400 is with highlights blocking in very bright conditions. Don't be afraid of Xtol, its very simple to use and very economical. Alternately, try XP2. Finer grain, wonderful tonality, expose at 250-320. XP2 will handle any highlights you throw it with great seperation.
