What Makes Ilford Delta 400 Professional

ISO 400 - The goldilocks speed for UK weather and real-world shooting. Fast enough to cope with overcast skies, indoor situations, and movement. Slow enough to retain incredible detail and sharpness. Perfect for life as it actually happens.

Core-Shell™ Emulsion Technology - Ilford's latest crystal technology produces exceptionally fine grain at high speed. This is the technical innovation that makes Delta 400 sharper and smoother than it has any right to be.

Exceptional Sharpness & Detail - Maximum resolution for a 400-speed film. Every nuance of your subject gets captured cleanly and clearly. This is what modern black and white film can do.

Finest Grain Structure - Remarkably smooth for ISO 400. You get the speed without the grainy compromise that plagues lesser high-speed films.

Impressive Tonal Range - Beautiful contrast, smooth gradations, and striking tonal depth. Shadows stay detailed, highlights stay controlled, and midtones are gorgeously rendered.

Broad Exposure Range - Rate it anywhere from ISO 200 to 1600 and still get outstanding results. The flexibility professionals need without sacrificing quality.

Developer Versatility - Processes beautifully in a wide range of developers using spiral tanks, deep tanks, or automatic processors. Works with your workflow, not against it.

Best For

Professional work, portraiture, documentary photography, street photography, travel, anything requiring both speed and quality, and photographers who refuse to compromise between grain structure and ISO rating.

Particularly brilliant for UK shooting conditions where the weather is unpredictable and you need a film that handles everything from bright sun to grey skies without fuss.

Perfect for photographers who demand professional results and modern performance. Delta 400 is what happens when traditional black and white film meets cutting-edge emulsion technology.
