Delta 100 and 400 sheet film in XTOL

greenspun.com : LUSENET : B&W Photo - Film & Processing : One Thread

Does anyone have development times and agitation speed for Delta 100 and 400 4X5 sheet film in dilute XTOL, processed in a Jobo CPA-2? Ilford has no XTOL times and Kodak has times for 135 and 120 formats only. I have been processing Delta 100 in Perceptol 1:3 and Delta 400 in ID11 1:3, both at agitation speed of "4" for about a year with good results, but am tempted by the claims to try XTOL. Are the Kodak claims for XTOL true for the Delta films?

Many thanks for your help.

They have a huge chart of developers and films. The times listed are for 35mm but work well as starting points for 4x5 film as well. Just be sure to test with non-critical sheets before processing your important images, as alway
