Thank you! These were mailed off so I'm not sure, but I can ask the lab I used.
Bigger labs are using Xtol these days because it's so economical and pretty darn good with everything. It's a great developer to get speed out of Kentmere too.

Nice shot @lakatua@ - and I'm kinda surprise how smooth this looks, considering the Delta 400 and XTOL 1:1 combo - I have the feeling things quickly get a bis crunchy when I use this..
---------------------------------------------
Thanks Tina - i actually find that Xtol tends to make the grain a bit finer or smooth out Delta 400 - I agitate for the first minute and then three turns every minute thereafter. I develop for a 11.5 minutes. I just finished a 100 foot roll of Delta 400 and have been quite pleased. I really like the shaprness and grain quality of this film. I've also had quite a bit of success with prints in the dark room with this combo.

I hadn't used the M4-2 for a while, so I took it for a spin this morning. I went to Multnomah Village for the regular reasons, it's close and I wanted a bagel. Parked in front of Heron's sisters shop and began to wander. Since having photographed just about everything in the Village a dozen times, I started looking for something a bit different. The shadows were good, so that was the focus.
Awesome shots. I miss living in that area not just for the bagels, but the shadows can get super dramatic with the hillyness on sunny days. Makes for some interesting stuff.
Still (slowly) working my way through all the Taiwan rolls. Here are some of the street vendors at Raohe Night Market in Taipei.

After helpful comments from some of you, I started using LightMe as a spot meter for my AutoCord as/when needed in addition to Sunny16. While it’s annoying to use the phone, I have read online with people that compared to to their external light meters that LightMe is quite accurate. I found this to be true. Exposure are much better even in harsh light—thanks all.
Sadly, when I unloaded my roll, the film got a pinched loose for a second so there’s some light contamination, but I still like the way they turned out.
