I am comparatively new to black & white, and would really value advice/opinions. I currently use Ilford Delta 400 Professional, which I develop in either Ilfotech HC (1+31) or ID-11. I then use stopbath and Hypam fixer. I need 400 ISO film, as I often use it in variable light. If the light is better, I do use the Delta 100, but I have found I usually need 400. Oh, and I use 120 rollfilm (in case it's relevant!).(posted 8684 days ago)From the little research I have done so far, it appears that there are lots of trade-offs and differences of opinion. My aim is to achieve moderate-high contrast, fine grain, sharpness and a good range of tones. Oh, and it needs to push well, by 1 or 2 stops! I know, this is a long wish-list! Any views on the best combinations of films and chemicals?
