Product Information

Full details

The Ilford Delta 100 Professional is designed for fine-art, landscape, and studio photographers who prioritize maximum image sharpness and exceptionally fine grain in their black and white work. Utilizing advanced Core-shell crystal technology, this 35mm film provides professional-grade clarity and precise rendition at its native ISO 100 sensitivity; however, users should be aware that its medium speed requires stable lighting conditions or the use of a tripod for optimal results in lower light.

FAQs

Can I push Ilford Delta 100?

Yes, Delta 100 can be rated between ISO 50 and 200 with excellent results, provided development times are adjusted accordingly.

Is this film suitable for beginners?

While high-quality, its slower speed makes it slightly more challenging for beginners compared to ISO 400 films, as it requires more careful light management.

What is the best developer for this film?

Ilford provides specific development charts for Delta 100 in common developers like Ilfotec DD-X or ID-11 to achieve the best sharpness-to-grain ratio.

Does it have a DX code?

Yes, standard 35mm rolls of Ilford Delta 100 include a DX code for automatic camera sensing.

Can this film be used for street photography?

It is excellent for street photography on bright, sunny days, though it may be too slow for late afternoon or evening shooting without a fast lens.

Troubleshooting

Images appear consistently overexposed

Check your camera's internal light meter or ensure your handheld meter is calibrated for ISO 100. Consider using an incident light meter.

Grain appears larger than expected

This is often caused by over-development or using an overly aggressive developer. Stick to recommended times for your chosen chemical process.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Industry-leading sharpness in the ISO 100 class
  • Extremely fine grain structure for clean enlargements
  • Excellent exposure latitude for push or pull processing
  • Reliable results for professional studio and landscape environments

Cons

  • Medium speed limits handheld shooting in low-light scenarios
  • Requires precise exposure metering for best tonal results
  • Limited to black and white output

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Load the film into any standard 35mm camera in low-light conditions to prevent fogging. Once exposed, store the canisters in a cool, dry place until development. For optimal results, ensure your lab or home processing setup is calibrated for Delta 100 development times. Avoid exposing the film to high temperatures or direct sunlight, and always process as soon as possible after shooting to maintain maximum image integrity.
