Ilford DELTA 3200 Professional, Black and White Print Film, 120 (6 cm), ISO 3200 (1921535)

Impressive film. The Ilford data sheets give recommended developing times for a wide range of ISOs from 400 to 12500. I've been shooting it recently at 1600 and developing in Xtol with a water rinse (no stop) - it performs great. I've also shot at 3200, but the grain is much more prominent. That's a matter of taste, though - I think the development times are accurate for both ratings. As for usability, it's nice that there is a pull tab to unravel the film during loading so you don't have to dig under the tape with your fingernails. Also, the foil opens on using tear-guides on the ends rather than in the sides as with Kodak 120 film. This can make it easier to keep the foil intact and re-use it to protect the exposed film. Also, the box helps with this, but having them individually packaged in little boxes makes it harder to pack them in small pockets sometimes. I'm not sure if it's something I'm doing or a problem with the film, but I think the emulsion might scratch more easily than the Tmax that I typically use - as if it's a little softer after washing. I use a cheap-o rubber squeegee, but I haven't had this problem with my other film. I don't see this as a reason to discontinue use of the film at all, though. Besides not having another good option at this film speed, it's easy enough to modify my behavior to address the differences between films. I will definitely continue using this film and recommend it to anyone for medium to low-light situations.

Expired Film - I ordered three rolls of Ilford Delta 3200 and I received 3 rolls of expired Ilford Delta 3200 film. Order date Dec. 16th 2024. One of the rolls expired Feb. 2022 ! I'm not against shooting expired film but when I buy new I expect it to be unexpired. Return in progress....

First time shooting with this film stock and in B&W. I love how they came out! Shot on a 1940s Argoflex

I've tried a lot of films, but this is one of my favorites. At 3200 ISO, it's easy to use it indoors, but I have also shot with it outside with great success. One of the most versatile films I've used if you don't mind the grain, which I like. I bought a bunch of rolls before the price went up. Now I'll have to be more conservative with my shots.

What else can i say - it's fantastic low light film that produces great images with the yashica TLR - obviously there is some grain present, however if your goal is lomography and images that have an artistic flair you will love this film - if you are familiar with film this will not come as a surprise anyway

ARRIVED EXPIRED both rolls arrived 7 months expired. not cool.

This is by far my favorite black and white film. I use it in my Mamiya m645. It makes it easy to shoot in low-light, and the high grain is just gorgeous. I get rich, deep blacks and nice whites.

The box of film I received was about 6 months expired. Not a huge deal since it still turned out okay, but if it is being sold as new film it should not be expired.

父の遺品のカメラに使いました。 まだまだ上手にアナログカメラを使えず、四苦八苦しながら撮っています。

Original

Works well in low light for street photography, using medium format (120) I haven't found the result to grainy if scanned properly.

Perfect!

Un carrete para disparar en condiciones de poca luz en formato de 120. Ilford es un seguro, de lo mejor en estas conficiones
