ILFORD DELTA 400 PROFESSIONAL is a fast, fine grain, black and white professional film. It is ideal for action and available light photography, and also gives fine grain results for pictorial and fine art photography. DELTA 400 Professional film gives excellent performance in seasoned developers. Although rated at ISO 400/27º, DELTA 400 Professional film can produce high quality prints when exposed at meter settings up to EI 3200/36 and given extended development in ILFORD ILFOTEC DD-X, ILFOTEC HC, MICROPHEN or ILFOTEC RT RAPID developers.
EXPOSURE RATING DELTA 400 Professional has a speed rating of ISO 400/27° (400ASA, 27DIN, EI 400/27) to daylight. The ISO speed rating was measured using ILFORD ID-11 developer at 20°C/68°F with intermittent agitation in a spiral tank. Best results will be obtained at normal contrast, but good image quality will also be obtained at meter settings from EI 200/24 to EI 3200/36. It should be noted that the exposure index (EI) range recommended for DELTA 400 Professional is based on a practical evaluation of film speed and is not based on foot speed, as is the ISO standard.
FILTER FACTORS DELTA 400 Professional film can be used with all types of filters (eg colour, polarising and neutral density filters) in the usual way. Follow the instructions given by the filter manufacturer. The exposure increase in daylight may vary with the angle of the sun and the time of day. In the late afternoon or the winter months, when daylight contains more red light, green and blue filters may need slightly more exposure than usual. Cameras with through-the-lens metering will usually adjust the exposure automatically when using filters. With some automatic exposure cameras, the correction given for deep red and orange filters can produce negatives under exposed by as much as 11/2 stops.
MAKING LONG EXPOSURES For exposures between 1/2 and 1/10 000 second, no adjustments are needed for reciprocity law failure. When exposures longer than 1/2 second are given, DELTA 400 Professional, along with other films, needs to be given more exposure than indicated by a meter. Use the graph to calculate the increased exposure time which should be given once the measured time is known.
