ILFORD Delta 3200 - Film Review

I’ve shot Delta 3200 with a Pentax 17 with an ND filter, with an MX and a red filter, and a Nikon F without a filter. I ADORE GRAIN. I like the noir effect of grain. Tack sharp is a crashing bore.This film will deliver white whites, black blacks, and grey greys effortlessly @3200 with the lovely texture of grain. Highly recommended.Show more

I shot my first 120 roll of Delta 3200 and I expected a ton of grain. I developed it with Ilford Ilfotech DD X as per the data sheet and I was shocked at the absence of grain. Way less than Tri-X. 3200 ISO opens so many doors.

I shoot HP5 for all of my 35mm black and white needs, but in 120, Delta 3200 has just the right amount of grain and highlight tonality that I’m looking for. I tend to expose for the shadows at 1600 and develop this film at 3200. That’s given me the best results in terms of shadow detail, while still preserving the highlights.Show more
