Excellent work, very nice tonality and grain, I really swear by Microdol, and Perceptol is the same formula. My method is cribbed from Barry Thornton:
1. Rate at half box speed (e.g. Delta 400 would be rated at 200)
2. Use a simple Metol developer (Microdol or Perceptol diluted 1:3 or Thornton's 2-bath formula)
3. Reduce development time by 20% (e.g. 8 mins instead of 10)
I find that gives me the best results I have been able to obtain and it works with just about all films I have tried with it, only exceptions have been Neopan and Maco Ort 100.

I'm pleased with the results.
Ian, thanks for that; it is pretty much what I did with the first two rolls. I have Foma 100 in the Kiev now and see how that goes.

Nice!
First one for me. Much more than I expected from Delta.

Fomapan 100 works very well with that method, I can't seem to find the thread I posted with fomapan 100 in 35mm developed in Microdol-X, but it gave me the best tonality I have got from that film, it gave more highlight detail too.
