Ilford Delta 100 - 120

Introduced in 1992, Delta 100 is an ISO 100 panchromatic, tabular-grain film similar to Kodak's TMax 100. Delta 100 is the second of the Delta family of films, manufactured by Ilford. The film features very fine and smooth grain, excellent sharpness, smooth tonality, and forgiving latitude. It is a very versatile film that delivers nice and clean images. The film is also very versatile in the darkroom, with much published data on developing techniques. Additionally, it is optimized to perform better in modern film scanners. Overall, it is a great low-to-medium speed black and white film that often gets a bit overlooked in favor of Ilford FP4 or Kodak TMax 100, but we encourage you to give it a shot.

Hasselblad Flexbody and Ilford Delta 100

Delta 100 is not a film we use terribly often. When gathering sample images of this film stock, our staff had none. This necessitated some "alone time" with the film out in the field. The results were pleasantly nice. We had general expectations of what the film would deliver; for example, we knew Delta 100 was a fine, tabular-grain film. When we saw our resulting scans, we were impressed by just how smooth its grain was. While Fuji Acros II is probably finer grained (Ilford doesn't publish RMS or Print Grain indexes for the grain of its films), Delta 100 still comes across as very fine. We feel like it still beats out TMax. In short, we enjoyed getting to know this film. The exercise was a valuable one as we had been avoiding this film for apparently no good reason other than ingrained preferences to the emulsions we already knew. Now we know a new one.
