A black-and-white negative film strip in a protective glassine sleeve. Featured here is Ilford Delta 400, which was my personal go-to black-and-white negative film throughout the 1990s.
Ilford states the following about this film:
"ILFORD DELTA 400 Professional revolutionized black and white photography upon its release, winning 'European Black and White Film of the Year 1991/92'. Its pioneering 'core-shell' crystal technology delivered an unprecedented, exceptional image quality. The outstanding sharpness and fine grain of the negatives amazed industry experts and photographers alike."
"Despite their benchmark-setting characteristics, both films have been improved even further. To reflect these enhancements externally, the word 'PROFESSIONAL' was added to the product name. The 100 DELTA PROFESSIONAL and the recently upgraded and now renamed DELTA 400 PROFESSIONAL differ from their predecessors by the following advancements:
-
Even higher negative sharpness and acutance.
-
Increased latitude for handling underexposure.
-
Significantly less degradation in image quality during push processing (see section 4.1).
-
Greater compatibility and a wider choice of suitable film developers."
