Best Developer for Ilford Delta 3200

[kb244]

I seem to get desirable results developing in HC-110 for about 14 minutes, shot at 3200. Two images from such combination.

Dilution? Temp? Agitation routine? Thanks in advance.

Yeah, but I don't think it really is a real Tomte. They are not kind giving presents like that. It might be the Coca-Cola version.

The Tomte that I met in Sweden (my mother-in-law's family) was a bit gruff. But he did deliver gifts.

You are right, they do that nowadays. Probably got inspired from the rest of the world and thought they had something to do with Santa... Before that they were only a menace letting cattle loose, etc. This one was a bit mean, though, only giving me ugly coffee cups and such. No "Recollections" book, no light meter and no tripod.

I was unable to find reply in archive... I'm looking for develpoment recommendation for Delta 3200 in diluted XTOL (1+1 etc.). I'm not the friend of grain smearing, I prefer crisp Rodinal-like grain appeareance though I need more speed than Rodinal can deliver.

I know there are some recommendatins on DigitalTruth but the times and temperature seems to be unreasonable high. Doeas anybody have experience with diluted XTOL and Delta 3200 ?
