Ilford 1780624 Delta 100 Professional Black-and-White Film, ISO 100, 35mm 36-Exposure

Ilford... my go to film for black and white. This one is very smooth and fine grain with luscious depths of tone your 500 MP digital can't match. Try film sometime if you haven't. As a photographer you have more skin in the game with a limited number of shots you must pay to have developed. It makes photography more soulful, more mindful. Shutter speed, aperture, ISO, focus, frame it right....snap! And when you nail that great shot.... nirvana.

Ilford Delta 100 is the go to standard for professional, 35mm, black and white photography. Buttery smooth grain that makes viewers doubt that images were not taken with a professional digital camera, and consistently stunning results! Pair this with a good film camera body, and a quality lens! You will not be disappointed, until the day that this is no longer made! That will be truly heartbreaking!

I've been pretty happy with this film so far.I seem to be able to get what I want. I like how the dark and mid tones are captured.I can't say if it's better or worse than other black and white films since this is the first I've tried, but I've been liking the results.One surprise is that the grain is visible when scanned. Coming from digital, you are used to ISO100 being completely clean. The grain isn't that distracting though.

I bought two rolls of this and everything went fine until I went to develop them. I had the two rolls that I bought here in one container two of the same rolls I bought of off B&H. I used chemicals from the same premaid batch in our schools dark room and I developed both batches for the same amount of time, the rolls from B&H where fine but after I poured out the fixer from the batch I bought on here it was pink. Same thing happened when I poured out the photoflo and the hypoclear. I pulled out this batch and there was nothing on these rolls except for big white and black splotches that looked like the negatives had been burned.

This is the first "delta"-type B&W film I have used, previously sticking to traditional emulsions like Tri-X and HP5 Plus. I tried it out because I was looking for an extremely sharp film to test out some lenses. All I can say is "Wow!" - this stuff showed levels of detail in my test targets (topographic maps taped to a wall) that I never expected to see (and yes, if there is something amiss with your lenses, this film *will* show it). I had it professionally processed and scanned at very high resolution (16Mp) for this purpose so I can't comment on the darkroom chemistry side of things. I liked the grain structure, though for general-purpose use I would probably go with the ISO 400 version for greater versatility. The combination of biting sharpness and detail with good tonality would probably make it a good choice for landscapes.

I have found Delta 100 to produce nice tones and agreeable grain when using my Leica M2 + Zeiss 50mm Planar and 35mm Biogon lenses. I think I like it a bit better than Plus-X and Tri-X so far (though obviously Tri-X is very different film). I've developed it in Diafine (3m+3m process), and scanned with a PlusTek 7300 with good results.

Have shot Ilford film since the seventies. Love the grain and the look. Glad it's still available.

This is not processed as standard film you have to take it to a photo shop to get the pictures, worth it if you are like me and like photography and quality. Thank you Amazon, I was able to use my older camera, because you still have film in stock.

very good film very prompt delivery

EXCELLENT SERVICE NOT ALL USED BUT SURE WILL BE OK WELL DONE

Excellent quality and excellent price.

classic and trustworthy. I shoot with my Canon AE-1, always have a few of hp5 400 and delta 100 in my bag, just old and classy.

Hallo,da ich für SW Aufnahmen überwiegend den FP4 Plus verwende,wollte ich gerne mal den Delta 100 testen.Verwendet habe ich hierfüreine Olympus OM4-TI mit dem G- Zuiko 1: 3,5 28mm,und einemOlympus 1:1,8 50mm.Der Film liefert ein sehr feines Korn mit guten Kontrastwerten,da bestehtschon ein sichtbarer Unterschied im Vergleich mit dem FP4,dies habe ichaber auch nicht anders erwartet.Belichtet habe ich ihn mit ISO 100.Vor allem gut sichtbar wird der Unterschied der beiden Filme an ArchitekturAufnahmen, oder auch Detailaufnahmen.Welche der Delta 100 sehr feinaufzulösen weiß.Der FP4 hingegen liefert,ein doch mehr sichtbares Korn,aber auch kräftigere Kontrastabstufungen.Per Kippentwicklung,habe ich den Film im Moersch ECO Film DEVELOPERbei 20°C 2+1+60 08:10 Minuten lang entwickelt.Mit anderen Entwicklerlösungen,Zeiten,oder sonstigen Tricks lassen sich bestimmt noch bessere Ergebnisseerzielen.Die Fotos welche ich hochgeladen habe,die letzten drei vom FP4 zum Vergleichsind alle unbearbeitet.Und wurden von mir mit dem Nikon Coolscan 1V-EDin bester effektiver Auflösung 2900 dpi eingescannt und als TiFF Datei abgespeichert.Da hat jedes Bild schon mal eine Größe von etwa 20MB.Mein Fazit zum Delta 100:Der Delta 100 ist sicherlich ein extrem Feinkörniger Film, und wohl bestensgeeignet für Architektur oder auch Portrait Aufnahmen.Jeder Film hat seineneigenen Charakter,der mit unterschiedlichsten Entwicklerlösungen beeinflusstwerden kann.Da kommt man, wohl ums Testen nicht herum.
