Simon,
I can't emphasize enough how significant a product I believe Delta 3200 sheet film would be. Delta 3200 is about the only remaining "romantic" film, kind of the way Royal Pan was in its day. I've not been able to duplicate the feel of the film with Delta 100 or 400. Its high speed would open up new opportunities for hand held 4x5. And if made in 8x10, grain would certainly not be an issue.

I shoot a lot of Delta 3200 in 6x4.5 and I've always admired Ilford's making the film available in format larger than 35mm.

Take care,
Tom

Dear Tom,

Your commments are most certainly noted :

I agree with Tom, but I stick with roll film for now. If I decide to go the route of sheet film again it will be quick loads, which unfortunately excludes Ilford. (I've heard the arguments before, so I'm not upset about it at all). But Delta 3200 in medium format is just gorgeous, especially for portraits. It does indeed feel romantic. In a portrait session not long ago I shot both D3200 and Tri-X side by side. I normally use a lot of Tri-X and think it's a great all-round film. But for the medium to low light situation I was in, the Delta just plain rocked. I got such wonderfully tight yet pronounced grain, but it's pleasantly soft at the same time. I cannot get enough of this film, and if it was available in sheets, I just might clean out my film holders...

Thanks to Simon and Ilford for all that you do anyway!

Dear Thomas,

I use DELTA 3200 all the time...for everything, I probably should not, but I just love the grain and the 'look'

Hi Jim,

I keep SFX in stock in 120, 35mm or as a promo pack with the Cokin filter and three rolls of either film.

I know this has been discussed before but i'd be all up in some delta 3200 in 4x5.

It's been a while since I've shot Delta 3200, but since I've got my 2x3" Technika cammed and working, it may be time for a revisit. My low light combo for a while has been Tri-X 35mm and a 50/1.2. I could see that changing to Delta 3200 in 6x7 and the 105/2.8 Xenotar.

Simon or Rob... is the promo pack still available, or is it possible to pick up the Cokin SFX filter as a separate item? Our local dealer has told me that this has been discontinued. I bought the last promo pack in Windsor ON.

I love this film in both 35mm and 120 format. Much less grain than HIE, it produces a nice foliage glow at ISO 6, but what I really like is the rich mid-tones. Some recent examples here: http://tomoverton.images.googlepages.com/infraredimages

The Cokin SFX filter performed beautifully for a number of rolls until I made the mistake of shooting on an extraordinarily humid day. It now has a few minor dimples in the gel, so I have retired it for more selective application and have picked up an R-72 for everyday shooting.

Cheers,

I think it's a current item. I know I have a few promo packs left. The last time I ordered them I ordered nine promo boxes and a bunch of film. I also sell the 092 filter that B+W makes.... they are costly but people like them.
