I have had such good luck with Ilford products that I am afraid to try anything else. I did try some Ilfords Pan F last week in 6x6 format and it was beautiful. I wanted to find out for myself if it made sense to shoot Delta 100 at ISO 50 or just use PAN F at it's normal 50 speed. Negatives from both are splendid. Continued good luck! Bob Bedwell << Bob, I also use Ilford Delta films almost exclusively, with Kodak Xtol as my main developer. Like you, I tried the Tmax films but just couldn't get what I wanted out of them. I also use Ilford paper as I like the way it works with the Delta films. Kodak paper seems to have a much shorter shelf life than Ilford. I can't tell you how much Kodak b&w paper I've had to dump in the trash because it had gone grey. The Ilford never gave me this problem although it was stored in the same place. I stopped buying Kodak paper. Fred >>
