Couldn’t agree more! It’s probably one of the most underrated film stocks. I pushed a roll to 1600 at a concert and it held up really well. Printing that film is indeed amazing. Such smooth yet crispy tones.

Totally agree with everything you said on this video. Delta 400 and FP4 are my go to landscape and portrait films. My mind is blown every time I do 16x20” darkroom prints with delta 400 in 35mm. The quality is almost in the realm of medium format (in terms of sharpness). I only did a portrait shoot last weekend with two rolls of delta 400 and two rolls of HP5. Delta 400 was the clear winner by far.

Those portraits are outstanding! I should give Delta one more chance maybe, so far I preferred TMax for portraits, but with the current price increases it has become unaffordable and I fell back to HP5 mostly. I always found Delta's grain kind of "grungy" in comparison, but maybe that impression came from the faster speed film, I really hate the grain in Delta 3200 in comparison to Kodak's.

A "PRO" black and white film makes no senses, but back in the "good" old days of analog color films for a professional it was very essential that the color of the films was exactly the same, especially when using slide film for a slide show, so professional films had the same age, the same production and serial numbers. professional photographers always had a LOT of film stored in refrigerators og freezers to be sure of constant supply of color films, so those film was called professional film, for amateur hobby photographers it gave no senses to use professional films, they was not better but much more expensive.
