I can't see who other then doing that would really tell you. Looking at a neg under a microscope does not tell you as they will inexplicably print with more or less grain than you think. The prints have got to be contrast matched. I think Ilford has come up with Delta 100 and 400 films. They have to be pretty smart to have done this. The 3200 I'm less impressed with as it's really 1200. But still these guys have a lot going for them. So would they shoot themselves in the foot by screwing up their Delta 400? I'd assume not unless proven otherwise. I'm sure it has been tweaked in the right direction. It had occurred to me though that Neopan 1600 might be eating into their 400 sales. That is what happened to me. So if the 400 became an 800 film that would fight that. Mark Rabiner Portland, Oregon USA http://www.rabiner.cncoffice.com/
