Ilford's New Delta 400

I just returned from 2 weeks in Europe. At the last minute I tossed 4 rolls of the new Delta 400 in my bag along with some TMY that I wanted to use up and a lot of FP4. What a mistake that was. I should have tossed in 40 rolls. I used the stuff in my Hasselblad on a small Manfrotto table top tripod in some cathedrals in Holland and Belgium. I developed it in ID11 1:1 14 min. just like that instructions suggested. The negatives and resulting prints were great. The contrast levels in those churches was extreme. The film hanndled it better than I had hoped. By the way I rated it at a nominal 250. If Ilford were to bring this stuff out in 4x5, I for one would use it.
