Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Much appreciated.

At the moment I think I'd like to stick to a developer that I have on hand (see first post), and not introduce anything new. I have a batch of Xtol mixed up at the moment, and can throw together a batch of D76 any time, and of course the liquid concentrates Rodinal and HC110 are always on deck. I'm inclined to try making D76 or Xtol work for this film. The idea of using D76 at a higher dilution than 1+1 seems like a sensible thing to start with, as it will be softer working. I have also seen some wonderful results out there of D-100 in Xtol - very luminous tones, and sharp. My limited experience with Xtol seems to indicate that it is good for taming contrast and has a softer look it.

I'm curious too if you all handle Delta 400 in the same way? Or is it a unique film with it's own needs?
