Ilford Delta 400 – 35mm Black & White Film

Ilford Delta 400 is a high-speed black and white film designed for versatility and fine detail, making it an excellent choice for handheld shooting, portraits, and travel. Using Ilford’s Core-Shell™ Delta emulsion technology, it offers exceptional sharpness and finer grain than traditional ISO 400 films—often rivalling the grain of slower emulsions like FP4.

Rated at ISO 400, Delta 400 performs well in a wide range of lighting conditions and is known for its smooth tonal transitions and excellent highlight retention. It’s particularly well-suited to wedding, landscape, and documentary photography where both speed and image quality are crucial.

While some photographers feel modern films like Delta 400 are more refined and less gritty than classic stocks (like HP5 or Tri-X), many love the clean, controlled look it delivers.
