Delta 100 compared to TMax 100

[ImSoNegative]

I like delta, I shoot it at 100 developed in ilfosol 3 1:9, have always had good results and I have had exposure times with it up to 37 minutes good results as well, great film

It depends to some extent on the developer used, but they are fairly similar from a sensitometric perspective. From an image structure perspective TMax is finer grained. You can't really go wrong downrating by a stop or so to give yourself a larger safety factor

Michael R,

That's a great comparison. If I were in Richard M. Coda's shoes, this would tell me to go out and shoot "exactly the same" - and then come back after the trip and figure out the different developing time required to get the same result.

Delta 100 is my favorite film, especially for scanning, which likes lots of very tight grains. It is a tiny bit sharper that TMax, but I wouldn't suspect you could see the difference in a print less than 80 winches wide.

I develop it in Xtol on a Jobo, Pyro would also be excellent. The other developers don't hold a candle to those two, IMO. Certainly not for what I've seen in the scanner....

I work 80-100 hours a week... photography is a love affair that I have to squeeze in when I can. This trip (next week for 6 weeks) presented itself and that's what I have to deal with. I will be bringing TMax, but I have this box of Delta... just thought I'd try it.

Lucky You ! Where you off too?

Lucky You ! Where you off too?

To spend Thanksgiving and the Holidays with my daughter in Pittsburgh since she can't come home this year for Christmas break. I can work from anywhere (self-employed graphic designer). Plus I have a big client in Pittsburgh, so I have meetings set up already, and they even want me to photograph (digital) some installations for them.
