Ilford Delta 3200 ISO Professional 35mm 36 Exposure Black & White Film
Ilford's Delta 3200 Professional is a high-speed black and white negative film for producing prints using a traditional black and white process. The film exhibits a nominal sensitivity of ISO 3200/36, making it ideal for use in difficult lighting conditions, indoor scenes, and for fast-moving subjects. Standard development in black and white chemistry yields an unobtrusive grain texture with rich tonality and the film also responds exceptionally well to under/over exposure and push/pull development. This item is one roll of 120 format roll film.

I bought some Delta 3200 to experiment with over winter when light is a bit more scarce. I'd read all sorts of articles about how to expose it etc and there are many opinions but I decided to do the 1st one at 3200 and see how I got on (pulling to 1600 seems popular and I'll try that sometime). I had expected rather coarse grain but I developed it in DDX at 20c for 12 mins which is more than Ilford's recommended 9:30. 3 mins in Ilford rapid fix (I did a clip test) and the grain was so much finer than I'd expected which I was happy about - Coarse grain has it's place of course, I just didn't want it on this occasion. Apparently Pyro 510 gives the finest grain and good sharpness but I don't have any.I'd exposed the film at night around my old home town and whilst I'm ... MoreI bought some Delta 3200 to experiment with over winter when light is a bit more scarce.

Worth thinking about if you're thinking about buying a roll or two.I intend to shoot roll 3 indoors during the evening and see how that goes.Overall I'm pleased with it, mainly because I can get the grain to a quite acceptable level and it opens up opportunities for hand held photography in conditions that you wouldn't normally manage. I really think I'll be going through many more rolls of this and finding out my favourite way to use it.Another thing worth mentioning is that if you're going to do long exposures then you need to add quite a bit for reciprocity failure - Ilford do a nice graph to show you what to add. If your metered exposure was 10s for example, the corrected value is 20s...download the sheet from Ilford and read it.

Delta 3200 can be used at many different speeds making it a very versatile film. Many online will suggest that ISO 1000 or 1600 will produce better results but this review is based off of usage at 3200.The part that was easiest for me to notice is the good shadow retention - it was apparent on the negatives before I even scanned them which I'm quite happy about. The film may have a "true" speed rating of 1000 but it certainly copes well with shadows when shot at 3200. A definite plus in this film's favour.The grain is much more apparent than a 400 speed film but this is to be expected for a high ISO film. It's obvious grain but not unpleasant. I prefer finer grain photos personally but I expected larger grain photos anyway so it wasn't a surprise for me when ... MoreDelta 3200 can be used at many different speeds making it a very versatile film.

Grain is a very personal taste so you'll need to form your own judgement on that point.The overall look of the film I found to be "ok". It's certainly not bad at all but it just seems to lack that certain something - you can't look at a photo and concretely say "this was taken with Delta 3200". It's reasonable for something used at ISO3200 but it doesn't make me go wow. Then again, if a film can be shot at 3200 and produce a good range of tones then that's a pretty decent achievement in itself. In future I may try using some at 1000 and 1600 where I expect better results (though I have no personal experience shooting it at those speeds yet). If I'm feeling crazy I may even try a roll at 6400 to see what happens.It's a very good film but doesn't quite fit my workflow so I can't see myself using it too much in future but I can definitely see the practical applications, particularly with street shooters that I think will appreciate the versatility and shadow retention.Attached sample photos both shot at 3200. The church photo is just after dusk and getting dark but before it got pitch black. The dim sum restaurant sign shot from outside and almost fully dark with illumination from the restaurant interior (it's easier to see the street photography applications in the latter).

I shot this on Delta 3200 at box speed and like the way it captured the mussel fisherman sorting his haul and one or two Norfolk scenes on a mucky old day up the coast.Most were shot on long lenses, so it gives you those extra few stops against say a 400 film which comes in handy.It's also quite sharp - look at the numbers on the bow of the boat in the harbour or the fisherman's barrow.Yes, it's grainy. You could try knocking the noise out but what's the point of spending hours correcting pictures shot on film when you could just shoot digital if you want a sharper, more clinical look.I love the way the old boat half-hidden in the reeds came out. Maybe that's the money shot on this roll.This is one of three or four films I'm now going to persevere with and ... MoreI shot this on Delta 3200 at box speed and like the way it captured the mussel fisherman sorting his haul and one or two Norfolk scenes on a mucky old day up the coast.Most were shot on long lenses, so it gives you those extra few stops against say a 400 film which comes in handy.It's also quite sharp - look at the numbers on the bow of the boat in the harbour or the fisherman's barrow.Yes, it's grainy.

A superb performing high iso film.I recentlynised this on a reenactor shoot at a museum in a hangar and outside at night. It returned exactly what I wanted and enabled me to achieve hand held shots at f4 @ 1/4 second. I used it at box speed at of 3200 and the grain wasn’t as harsh as i thought it may have been.I’ve previously used it in the 120 format and i shot at iso 1600, which for me wasnt quite fast enough sonits good tonhave experienced it at iso 3200
I recently shot 4 rolls of Ilford Delta 3200 in low light conditions (a vaulted cellar lit by artificial light only). I rated the film at 6400 and developed in Ilfosol 3 following the manufacturers recommended timings. At the same time I shot 1 roll of Kodak T-Max P3200 at 6400, developing in T-Max developer, again following recommended timings.All 4 of the Ilford films came out seriously under-exposed; the Kodak Film is correctly exposed. This is not the first time that I've seen this issue with Delta 3200. I have used it to photograph church interiors with similar under-exposure.I understand that manufacturer's timings are a guide only, and more fool me for not making necessary adjustments after my church interior experience. Nonetheless, based on what I have ... MoreI recently shot 4 rolls of Ilford Delta 3200 in low light conditions (a vaulted cellar lit by artificial light only).

Don't use this a lot, although it's good to have a roll in your film stash.Not a lot of light when the hovercraft at the local lifeboat station came home from a refit.But I was getting away with it at 1200 ISO on a DSLR, so I whipped my filmy friend* out for a few frames.Shot this at box speed - 3200 ISO. I was hoping for a decent silhouette to get something a bit more dramatic out of it.It coped and came back reasonably sharp despite winging it with the focus as it was so cold the viewfinder was steaming up.I had to shoot it on Auto because I couldn't see what the hurdy-gurdy was telling me exposure-wise.People like the grain if you read the reviews.I don't always, but there's no getting away from the lumps with this stuff.You've just got to like it ... MoreDon't use this a lot, although it's good to have a roll in your film stash.Not a lot of light when the hovercraft at the local lifeboat station came home from a refit.But I was getting away with it at 1200 ISO on a DSLR, so I whipped my filmy friend* out for a few frames.Shot this at box speed - 3200 ISO.

Love, love, love Delta 3200. Probably my favourite b&w film so far. The high iso is perfect for versatility with various scenarios from normal daylight to night-time and gig photography. Mega grain!Here's a mixture of shots I've taken on it:1. 'Ty Segall' - Birmingham 20242. 'Ironically, they weren't open'3. 'Night Self Portrait'4. 'Double Exposure' - Rob & Laura's Wedding 08/20245. 'Say Cheese!'All photographs developed and scanned by @exposurefilmlab
What can I say, shooting at ISO 3200 was a very freeing feeling. It was nice to not have to worry for a change, a feeling I do enjoy about digital photography. Just like the other Delta range films, this film has a high contrast look (certainly in overcast conditions). Considering how high ISO 3200 is, I was anticipating more grain than there was. That said, where you zoom into 100%, the grain is very clear so perhaps ensure prints aren't too large unless you enjoy the heavy grain aesthetic.I wanted to shoot an indoor function but did not have a roll on me, so pushed a 400 speed film to 3200 and honestly, the results were similar to what I'd have expected from Delta 3200. I'm please I had a go with this film and I can see it having a place in peoples workflow, it's ... MoreWhat can I say, shooting at ISO 3200 was a very freeing feeling.

I've used this film for over a decade and continue to so so within the context of my continuously developing photography hobby of over 60 years. The film has surprising exposure latitude so it can be used for for all sorts of photography: available light, motion capture (blurred or just fast), and a wide variety of concurrent lighting conditions within the same frame. The grain really isn't too bad in medium format; I develop in Rodinal. I think that the film's resultant grain structure enables wet chemistry enlarged prints, using fiber-based graded paper, to have an intriguing appearance.
I've used this emulsion for over ten years and its emerged as my favorite during that time. It surpassed pushing Tri-X. I like to do available light photography and have done so for decades. When there's no bright flash, or possibility thereof, very natural scenes of people in natural expression can be captured. The nearly silent click of a shutter is hardly noticed. I develop this film in Rodinal 1:25 for about twenty minutes at about 68 degrees F. Often available light pictures need to have the subject area against a very bright background such as as people near a window during daylight. This film handles this in that the dark part of the frame develops quite well relative to the bright part. Full-frame scenes at night can also similarly permit the exposure to be ... MoreI've used this emulsion for over ten years and its emerged as my favorite during that time. It surpassed pushing Tri-X.

I set my light meter to ASA 3200 and take my chances.
