    I think they changed the emulsion in the roll film version after they discontinued Delta 400 in sheet film, so the new stuff is not the same as the one previously sold in sheet sizes.

    I seem to recall that Simon or someone said that a lot of Ilford customers did not buy the original Delta 400 sheet film in favor of HP5+.

    Of course, I also remember reading that many customers did not like the old Delta 400 (or was it 400 Delta?) in any form. The new stuff is certainly better in my eyes than the original.

    I would used Delta 400 in 4x5 (once I have mastered loading up dark slides :-( ), and would used over one hundred but less than 500 sheets per year.

    Probably more if they did them in readyload format..

    Delta 400 in 4x5 and 5x7, yes please; but what chance is there of that happening.

    I'd rather they offered Delta 3200 in 4x5. Kodak already offers TMY, so Delta 400 would have to compete with that, but Delta 3200 in sheet sizes would be a one-of-a-kind offering.

    Except if they included it in their LF and ULF program, in which case there might a lot of interest in it, given Kodak's huge minimums.

    I have never tried it, but if its not available the chance of doing it is zero.

    Not interested, I like the traditional grain better.

    Hope you get what you're looking for. If I can't have tri-x 400 in 4x5, I'll settle for HP5.

    I don't want a film that I can get only once every few years.
