Delta 400 is my primary MF film. I often shoot it at ISO 100 or 50, pulling it 30% to 40% in PMK. I have no experience with pushing. http://www.ravenvision.com/rvapeter.htm

MF = medium format.

I haven't had much luck pushing Delta 400. It was okay at 800 in XTOL but beyond that I wouldn't recommend it. I've had much better results pushing HP5+.

John, i have had beautiful results with pushing delta 400. when exposed at 800, it prints and retains almost exact characteristics as when shot at 400. i use ID-11 (D-76) to process it. My normal for 400 is 11min, 15 sec @ 68f.. and 800 is 16min. 45 sec @ 68f. good luck, Sean.
