    Identifying 4x5 film notch pattern

    I came across some old film that I have written on the box "Ilford". The sheets have 3 half-circle notches right in a row with equal spacing. Can anyone identify the film for me? I looked it up in some of my reference books but don't see that notch pattern.

    Thanks

    Perhaps the original HP-5 (not+).

    I just found this wikipedia website (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notch_code). Since the notches are evenly spaced, I think it is probably Delta 400 Professional (Old).

    I used to shoot Delta 400 before they stopped making it in 4x5 and recall that was indeed the notch code.
