Ilford Delta 400 in sheet film. Survey of interes.

[David A. Goldfarb]

If there were more Delta 400, I'd shoot less Tri-X.

[D. Bryant]

Does anyone have any WinPlotter files for Delta 400 processed in a pyro developer or XTOL?

I shot a lot of this film when it was available and liked it very much. I've been using TMY for years now and with the new TMY-2 coming online I'm not sure if Delta 400 would be appealing to me again.

I don't think that I've ever seen a print from Delta 400, but I've heard that some people feel that the Delta films have more of the look of classic films than the T-Max films from Kodak. Is that true? I would certainly be willing to try the film in 4x5.

[Joseph O'Neil]

I used to love Delta 400 in 4x5. Stains great in PMK pyro,a nd works great i any developer. has near the grain fo T-Max, but handles more like a "traditional" film such as Tri-X or HP5 in development. Would buy a couple hundred sheets in a heartbeat.

Somebody should check with Jorge as I thought he expressed an interest in this film as well....a while back.

[Jan Pedersen]

Use Delta 100 in 5x7 and 35mm and Delta 400 in 35mm
Would buy Delta 400 minimum a 100 sheet in both 5x7 and 8x10 a year.

[Joseph O'Neil]

Perhaps the question should be, how much of a minimum order does Ilford need to make a run of Delta 400?

I mean, even if they did it only once a year, if Ilford said "we need this many sheets ordered" then could we not do that, not unlike the ULF film order that was put together some time ago?

If I knew for a fact that Ilford would do a big run fo Delta 400 say next spring, I'd save up my money, put in a big order, and store the film in the fridge.

Would Ilford be open to such an idea, and would anybody else be interested in it as well? Perhaps the idea could be raised on APUG too?

Anybody ever do a serious study of TMY and Ilford Delta 400? I am leaning toward the TMY, will do some 4x5 tests this weekend, but 5x7 in the new stuff is not available.

Would like to see some expert data, would keep me from doing so much testing.

Of course one has to do some testing for one's own chemicals, etc but a technical look would be helpful

I totally agree with Joe. If it could be sold in boxes of 50 or 100 sheets I would happily buy them once a year.

[Tom Perkins]

I would use it in 4x5 and 5x7. No way to predict the extent but at least $1,000 per year. This is a terrific film and I was sorry to see it go.
