Want to shoot in low light with no flash or tripod? Ilford Delta 3200 & Kodak TMAX p3200 are two great options!
They’re both high 3200 iso B&W stocks that perform well in low light but produce different looks.
TMAX p3200 has punchy tones, strong contrast, and surprisingly fine grain while Delta 3200 has more subtle tones, mild contrast, and more noticeable but still good looking grain. Check out our bio link to see these in a side-by-side comparison that shows the difference in contrast, tonality, and grain! We’ll be shooting these once again to show a wider variety of side-by-side comparisons, like; night scenes, daylight portraits, how they perform with under and overexposure, and will show more info on how each shot was metered!

Photo Below: Delta 3200 Left | T-MAX P3200 Right Contrast – The largest notable difference is the contrast with the TMAX p3200 (right) popping a bit more than the subtle contrast of Delta 3200. Grain – TMAX’s grain appears to be much finer than Delta. Exposure – While both films have great exposure latitude and do well with overexposure, the TMAX seems to be a little more versatile because Delta images get a little muddy in the underexposed parts of the photo.

Seems that the Tmax 3200 has better blacks and more contrast. What were they developed in?
The TMAX 3200 is a much better film in my opinion. I used it to shoot dog shows where flash is not allowed for a project I was working on. Great contrast and better definition. I processed my own in TMAX developer. I found the Ilford to appear washed out.
