Everyone in my circle of film photographers have sworn upon how wonderful Ilford’s HP5+ is so I dived into its professional counterpart, the Delta 400. Having read and been told on how unforgiving the Delta is compared to HP5+, I was admittedly a little nervous. My first roll was done indoors, light was limited and had to be rated at 800. Thus, I paid extra attention on metering. My fears was completely gone when the scans came back looking good, debunking the narrow latitude rumour.

 

Since everyone shoots Tri-X and HP5, Delta 400 have just become my go-to black and white film.
