Film Emulsion Review: Ilford Delta 400 (35mm and 120)

While I really do enjoy the look of Kodak Tri-X 400, almost nothing in black and white has made me drool like Ilford Delta 400.  Ilford Delta 400 I always felt delivered those inky, beautiful black levels that I've alway been smitten with.

It's a beautiful film for street photography, for portraits, for candids, etc. It's just a simply gorgeous film that consistently delivers foe me everything that I want in a photo. What makes Ilford Delta 400 even better for me is the fact that it pushes well, pulls well and looks good no matter what emulsion you're shooting it at. I've shot it in both 120 and 35mm and found both types of results to look pretty fantastic.  Ilford Delta 400 doesn't have the characteristic grain that Kodak Tri-X does, but instead it's a very classic look. It isn't as gritty as Tri-X, and for that reason you shouldn't necessarily use it as such. .
