Ilford Delta 100 - 35mm Film
Description
Delta is a modern emulsion from Ilford and this is the daylight-rated variant- created with finer grain to provide sharp black and white images with excellent contrast.
While this means the 35mm film is slightly less forgiving of wide exposure latitudes, the professional results when you nail the exposure will blow you away!

Ilford was founded in 1879 in the English town of the same name. They are B&W royalty in the photography industry thanks to their 140-year heritage and their support for photographers with chemicals and development as well as film. In the mid-20th Century they produced several well-regarded camera lines (including one given to Princess Elizabeth that was later stolen!) but today they are focused on producing the best films and development processes that they can.

Last time I really played with film, Delta was one of those newfangled fads which obviously weren't really needed with the likes of FP4 already available. But, it obviously stuck around so, yesterday, I finally got round to shooting my first ever roll of the stuff.
It's sharp. Probably sharper than my old Contaflex with its 1950s Tessar glass.
It's accurate. The somewhat overcast day and old, weathered, stone were captured perfectly perfectly, with the film not imposing anything on the pictures that wasn't there.
It's almost grain free. On 2.5x3.7k scans from 35mm you JUST start noticing what may be grain, or may be the limit of scanning, at 100% crop.
It's also surprisingly tolerant on exposure. On the mountains I added a polariser but forgot to reset the metering (not TTL) for the couple of stops difference. The Delta just shrugged and made a good attempt anyway!
I can't see it becoming an everyday film simply because of price but it's certainly one I'll be keeping a roll or two of and can't wait now to try out all the combinations - 100 and 400, 35mm and 120.
Camera: Contaflex Super with Zeiss Tessar 50mm / Pro-Tessar 115mm.
Developed: ID11 stock for 8:30
Here's a shot from my roll of Delta 100
Here is an example of this film.
This is my favourite film around 100 asa, I find it slightly sharper than fp4+ but also slightly more critical of exposure.
Prefect for studio work, especially headshots. This is my favourite ilford film by a mile. Compared to the 3200 which is very much for a different purpose but nevertheless underwhelming, this is punchy, sharp and just an all round beautiful film. Probably my second favourite film for studio work!
