Review Summary

I?m a huge fan of TMax 100 for its fine grain and even tone curve. Ilford Delta 100 also has a very fine grain but so far my results have more contrast than I am used to. I am working on my developing recipes to include lower dilutions and more time in order to give me flatter negatives like I am used to and prefer. Once I get that sorted I can see Delta 100 replacing my fine grain film needs, mainly due to the more economical price of the film and similar results. My main film is Ilford FP4. Although I am liking Delta 100, in 4x5 nothing beats FP4 IMO.

This film is what I use for my pinhole photography. I find this film to be forgiving with exposure, extremely fine grained, and has excellent contrast. This image is an interior shot of an old plantation barn and was a 19 minute exposure. I can?t recommend this film enough for black and white photography.

Ilford always had a great reputation back when I used to work at a camera store in the midwest. Decided to pick more up and it is still all that. Best bang for the buck, can't beat the price for quality ratio, and easy developing too.

I bought this film because it is what I used to shoot in high school and it still is as great as I remember. It's been years since I've shot film so there was definitely a learning curve getting used to how this film handles in all different lighting situations, but overall I've been very happy with the contrast and clarity of most of my images.

Great B&W film and the fact that it comes in a 100-sheet box is fantastic: to keep both shipping and film cost down.

Ilford is the new standard for B&W photography. Kodak has seen better days and as of to day, 07/13/2020 it is rumored that Kodak films may be sold to China. Ilford B&W film has a more dramatic effect that Kodak or Fujifilm.

Great B&W film with a good tonal range and minimal grain. Especially at 4x5.

Until they make Pan-F in 4x5 this will be my go to large format for portraits. Very fine grain.

Other than the package, everything came in and it was so fun to open it and could not wait to use it.

Works great! Although this has been my first time using a 100 speed film, so it is a bit hard to get used to taking night pictures again. Other than that, the pictures are quite clear and I haven't run into any real problems yet.

I am a student and was warned of the use of inferior film, (especially for the novice trying to get the most of their tuition fees). This film allowed me to have two exceptional entries in our college art show!

This stuff is probably my favorite. It pushes well, and has great tonal range.

I've been using delta 100 4x5 for a long time now and enlarge to16x20. I am very pleased with the detail and sharpness it produces.

Very sharp, great tones with low grain and sharp sharp detail in bright sunlight, low light or flash. A really good all around film.

I like this film. I bought this locally, because I live in Arizona, and having film shipped in 110 degree heat where it sits in my mailbox outside doesn't make sense. Anyway, this film has always come out well with great contrast, never had issues self developing with Ilford Ilfosol 3. The film material itself is sturdy and easy to roll on the spool. I bought a bunch of Kentmere 100 36-exp and it's decent film, but trying to load it on the spool was difficult, as the film is very thin plastic. I doubt I'll be buying Kentmere anymore, I prefer the image quality and physical attributes of Ilford, you get what you pay for.

I try to always buy adorama product printing paper, and the fiber based works great, producing excellent tones and washes extremely well! Thanks adorama!

Grain and contrast are exactly as I expected and I've really enjoyed shooting this film. This particular box was used in some street photography and it really turned out well.

Nothing to complain about. I've tried many brands and film types. I always come back to this (or the Delta 400 if I need more speed). I shoot it at ISO 80 when I can and the results are consistent and great.

This is the low ISO film I started with when I first started BW photography. Lovely grain, easy to develop.

The best slow speed film!
By BERNARD F.
I'm an 8x10 portraiture photographer. I'm also a street photographer.I love this film because it has never let me down.I get compliments from my work because of this film. I develop it in DDX or beutlers developer. My process of developing is a Jobo CPP2 processor utilizing Jobo expert drums. I get perfect negatives every time. Ilford DDX developer does make a difference. I get deeper blacks, and exelent tonal range. Tray processing works too, but you risk scratching your negatives, and breat...
