... Ilford Delta 100 and FP4plus?
What's the difference in contrast, latitude, etc.?
And how have you dealt with the differences?

TIA,

Collin

Delta 100 is a little finer-grained and slower, with a bit less
latitude. It also develops much faster.

Thanks, Mike. I'm looking @ trying one of the two with the 8x10.
Grain should be immaterial : ) so the latitude should be most
important.
But since Delta 100 is locally available ... that may make the diff
here.

With a 8x10 camera, grain isn`t really an issue. You could use HP5 Plus and
gain a useful couple of extra stops in film speed and probably not see any
difference in grain at all.

Etc? Price. The Delta is a T film? If so add twice as
much fix and that much more time in the fix. Is it easy
to handle? Dan
