Originally posted by dsmithhfx I tried a couple of rolls of that but found it a tad inferior to Tmax, clumpy and grainy. My whole workflow from exposure on is suspect, ymmv.
What chemistry? I sometimes agree, depending. I'm not a giant fan of it in D76 - Tmax does better. But in XTOL (ironically) I like it far far better. Delta in XTOL pushed 1 or 2 stop has become my favorite "everyday" B&W look. Trouble is I've not been dev'ing at home for a long while and the mail-in lab I've been using doesn't use XTOL like my old local one.
In the 100 speed Delta/Tmax varieties I like Tmax more. I dunno.
Mostly started rolling Delta some years back because it was cheaper, but stayed cuz I liked it more (in XTOL).

This is the only one I can find on my flickr i'm sure was in XTOL (this one isn't pushed). And funny enough, is a shot of the lab I used to use.
(I miss being so near to them.)
edit: Not a great comparison though. Two totally different cameras and the recent ones above are DSLR scans, while below is (I believe) from my old Pakon.
