Comments about Ilford Ilford Delta Pro 100 120 Fine Grain Medium Speed, Black and White Film, ISO 100, 120 Size:

The unique tonal range of this film makes it perfect for portraits. I use it in my Mamiya RB67, and they love each other. Its rendering of skin tones is luminous, and I think it looks sharper than other slow film. The exposure latitude is phenomenal for so slow of a film, and you can be certain of getting a large number of successful photographs.

A fine film for vintage cameras

Comments about Ilford Ilford Delta Pro 100 120 Fine Grain Medium Speed, Black and White Film, ISO 100, 120 Size:

Many vintage cameras use 120 size film. I have been using Ilford Delta Pro 100 to explore a group of vintage 1930's folding bellows and twin lens reflex cameras. Many of the apertures and shutter speeds are approximate, at best, and this film is forgiving in exposure tolerance. The fine grain and long gray tones match well with the feel of the times for these cameras.

Good-bye T-MAX

Comments about Ilford Ilford Delta Pro 100 120 Fine Grain Medium Speed, Black and White Film, ISO 100, 120 Size:

I do exclusively landscape photography (medium format). For years I have used T-MAX and felt it was very sharp but had a bit of a tendancy to over-expose highlights beyond the levels I anticipated. It additionally did not hold clarity as well as I would have liked beyond 11" x14" prints.

The Ilford Delta Pro has dramatically improved the sharpness, clarity, and overall acutance of the image. As an example, in forested scenes, the hundreds of individual leaves hold similar sharpness to a handful of single leaves in close-up settings.

The film does not have the warmer tones of T-MAX 100 but is cooler in nature. The first time I developed this film I used Kodak HC110 developmer. I was not satisfied with the results - the highlights did not hold detail very well. I contacted a technician at Ilford and he indicated that developers requiring sorter times (such as the HC 110) are not good match-ups with this film. The following are both Kodak and Ilford developers he suggested are best:

Kodak brands
- T-MAX (I have used this with good results)
- D-76

Ilford brands
- Ilfotec DD-X
- Ilford 1D11

"The" film for B&W

Comments about Ilford Ilford Delta Pro 100 120 Fine Grain Medium Speed, Black and White Film, ISO 100, 120 Size:

The best film for doing fine arts photography. Nice and slow for those of us that love pinpoint detail.

I do a lot of my work on Tripods and this gives me the right speed to capture milky waterfalls and still lets me hand hold in daylight.

Use in Hassy 500cm.
