Ilford Delta 400 35mm Film 36 Exposures
Ilford Delta 400 35mm is a film with impressively sharp detail and very minimal grain. It’s known for its wide tonal range that retains subtlety and detail. It is a high-speed film with an ISO of 400. This makes it a great all-round option, perfect for changing light conditions.
Originally released in the early 1990’s, the Ilford Delta film range is a comparatively new film stock. Delta films are what is known as a T-grain film. (Other T-grain films include Kodak T-Max and Fuji Acros). In theory, T-grain films should provide sharper images and finer grain compared to a conventional-grain film of the same ISO. Additionally, you should see clearer, crisper tones too. So, for example, Delta 400 should be sharper and have a finer grain than HP5 400.
Exposure Latitude
The downside is that Delta 400 has a relatively small exposure latitude when compared to other films. So you have to be more accurate with your exposure than you might otherwise need to be when using other films.
Despite its quality, Delta 400 is often overlooked because of the popularity of its close relative Ilford HP5 400. But it is the ideal choice for those that love detail in their images. So, for the small extra cost, it might be worth upgrading to Delta 400 next time you restock.
Ilford Delta 400 is available in 35mm and 120.

Delta 400 has impressively sharp detail and very minimal grain. Although you can lose some detail in the extra highlights. For the small extra cost, it might be worth upgrading your HP5 to a roll of Delta 400 for that extra quality.

HP5+400 is to Tri-X 400 as Delta 400 is to Tmax 400. This film is super sharp and crisp and has a very fine grain for a 400 ISO film. If you’re developing it yourself, consider the Ilfotec DD-X (which is specifically designed for this emulsion). The tones are very even (and linear), and it lends itself extremely well to scanning as you lose no detail whatsoever. I find when printing from it using multigrade paper, I end up using a higher contrast than I might normally with, say HP5+.
As mentioned in the description, it does not respond to incorrect exposures very well , so not ideal in a camera with limited control over the exposure (say, a Olympus Trip 35 … that did NOT work out well).
