My preliminary tests indicate Delta films being a step up in producing I'm gonna say "clarity" from the always excellent and forgiving Tri X. I'm shooting Deltas for a year and I'll tell you the results when I'm done. I think it will be less forgiving being a modern but the solid boost in clarity is gonna make it worth it I think. And worth the extra change. Mark Rabiner
