Ilford Delta 100 is a high-resolution medium-speed black-and-white film that features tabular grain in its emulsion (a Core-Shell™ technology). Launched in 1992, it was the response to Kodak’s T-Max film series and the tech that promised more detail without having to resort to slow ISO values. In this review, I’ll explain what tabular grain is and why it’s important for films like Delta 100, talk about this film’s key properties, such as resolution and dynamic range, share lots of samples, explain why I like working with this particular film in challenging lighting conditions, and offer tips to avoid mistakes I made while shooting it over the past six years.
