Just in case anyone's interested. I shot a rough test today of the NEW 
Ilford Delta 400 Professional along side the OLD 400 Delta. 

Shot one after the other, same camera, same light, same scene - gray 
cards, white textured cloth, black textured cloth, shadows and 
highlights. I used Ilfotec DDX at Ilford's suggested time of 8 minutes at 
74 degrees. This is the time for the old film at 400 and the new film at 
800. I ran them in the same tank together.

It appears that the new film is about one stop faster given same 
processing.

As to what the scans look like - that comes soon. I'll post them if 
anyone wants.
Ilford claims on the package that its faster and finer grained.

Has anyone else used the new film?
