Delta 400: Develope in Rodinal or Xtol?

from Ollie Steiner (violindevil@yahoo.com)
My film and developer combination of choice is Pan F+ in Rodinal. I like the look, and it seems like a combination which yields 35mm results that most nearly approach the quality of medium format. For those occasions when I'm forced to use a faster film, I thought I would give Delta 400 a try. (From what I see of other people's work, I generally find myself prefering the tonal distribution of Delta 400 photographs over T Max 400 shots.) So I bought a couple of rolls of Delta 400, and I have some Rodinal and some Xtol. Would some of you who have tried both of those developers on Delta 400 please tell me how you feel they compare (on that film)? Will I see better edge sharpness with Rodinal? Will one or the other of these two yield results on Delta 400 which more nearly approach the Pan F+/Rodinal look? Thanks, Ollie
