from Sandrian Camera, Mor Summary: Not bad, but tempermental when it comes to development. Strengths: Not too expensive and comparable to Kodak T-Max 400. With proper exposure and development can yield good/excellent negatives with low grain and high detail (for 400ASA). Weaknesses: Here's the rub... The Ilford Delta films are "T" films, like the Kodak T-Max family. This means they give good detail and little grain, but they are quite touchy when it comes to development and exposure. Unlike HP5 or Tri-X, T-films give little leeway beyond about 1/3-1/2 stop under- or over-exposed. Also, their development must be handled with greater care, with tighter temperature tolerances and more thorough rinsing. If you're developing your own negatives, expect to spend a considerable amount of time on this film. If you take your film to a lab, make sure they know how to properly handle "T" films or else you may find yourself greatly disappointed.
