FP4+ and Acros100 in Pyrocat HD - Glycol

[LuisR]

I regularly use Acros and Delta 100 in 4x5, developing with rollo pyro. Acros is excellent and my preferred film, but Delta 100 is far cheaper. Due to cost considerations, I use Delta 100 in brighter situations, Acros in low light so I don't have any, or as much, exposure compensation time. I scan the negatives and am quite happy with the results from both films.

Harley, I am going to experiment with Delta 100 and Pyrocat HD. Your method is clever. I looked at their prices and Delta 100 is more expensive than FP4+ in 4x5, but less in 120. Its discouraging when manufacturers play games with their pricing such as this, or as Fuji does between their price for 4x5 vs. 120. Clearly the beancounters could not care less about photographers, which after all are the reason why they have their jobs.

I've always prefered FP4 for portraits and Acros for landscapes...regardless of developer.
