Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. How many exposures are on this roll of film?

A: That depends upon the type of Medium format camera you are using. There are at least three major frames sizes. The most common being the square 6 x 6 Centimeter or 2&1/4 X 2&1/4 used by the Rolleiflex TLR, Yashicamat and Hasselblad 500 series. In that case you will get 12 exposures per roll of 120 Delta 100 film.

Q: 2. Is the film on the black or white side?

A: I am not totally clear on your question. The film is a strip of transparent plastic film base coated on one side with a gelatin emulsion containing microscopically small light-sensitive silver halide crystals on the back side.

Q: 3. What is the exposure latitude for Delta 400?

A: Slim. Not the most forgiving film. Meter like crazy.

Q: 4. Can I develop this film using C41 developer? Thanks

A: No way... This is a standard B&W film. Best developer to use is Rodinol 1/32 at 8.5 minutes. This is definitely NOT a C-41 film.

Q: 5. Could somebody tell me please if it comes packed in the metal can or just black plastic foil inside the cardboard package?

A: Black plastic, inside the cardboard box. I have used Ilford film for decades. A great film. Hope this answered your question.

Q: 6. What is the exposure latitude for Delta 3200?

A: It is less than most other BW films. There is basically no underexposure latitude, any amount and the photos will have no shadow detail. It is more tolerant of overexposure, so err in that direction if you're not sure of exposure. Developer makes a big difference. Kodak Tmax Developer or Ilford DDX are the only ones that really give great results. D-76 is terrible.

Q: 7. Is this water proof/plastic feeling on one side?

A: This would be a single sided Water-resistant Japanese Washi. I do not find it to have a plastic type feel to it, but it is Water-resistant (not water-proof).

Q: 8. Is there a risk of X-Ray damage when shipping Delta 3200 overseas?

A: Hi, to answer your question, I would say yes. Any film rated higher than 400iso/asa is going to be subject to film fogging or color shift from X-ray. Many airlines and companies tell you that x-ray does not destroy or degrade your film but this is a complete lie. I use film exclusively and have traveled through many countries and can tell you first hand even at iso100 there is a risk of degradation. I always carry a lead bag that I store my film in if needing to pass through x ray, and always ask that the film be hand checked. They have swabs that can detect any traces of whatever it is they may be looking for without opening your film. I am not sure where overseas you are but in Europe ILFORD is the leading film distributor and in many places such as Central and South America, and parts of Africa, if you are in the main hubs such as the main developed cities they will most often have a film store you can get your hands on this film.

Q: 9. How long does this film need to be developed in the darkroom?

A: My friend this film behaves pretty much like any other B&W film, and personal preferences upon what final results you may be looking for will determine dark room procedures. Delta 100 has a great and well balanced contrast range. If you are looking normal B&W results, and with standard developers at normal 72-75 degrees ambient temp, I will suggest 10 to 12 minutes, agitating (more like soft shaking..not a bartender kind) 10 seconds at each 2 minutes interval then leave the tank upside down the next 2 minutes and agitate again when you put it up (two min upside down, two min up) and repeat until the 10 to 12 minutes are gone. So, let's say if you did use 10 minutes procedure, you will agitate 5 times total with a 50 seconds (10 sec x 5 times) at each inversion. Remember that more agitation, the more contrast you will get, and the more time means pushing the exposure. I hope this may work for you, let me know.!!!

Q: 10. What is the expiration date on the current delta 100 that is for sale?

A: B&H buys and sells film in bulk. In general we regularly maintain fresh film stock. All of our film is at least 6 months from expiration (typically much longer). Anytime film stock is less than 6 months from expiration we sell it in a separate section and label it as short-dated film and also price it with a slight discount (again due to the volumes we sell this rarely occurs). Unfortunately we do not have access to our inventory to hand inspect the expiration date of any of our films prior to purchase.
