Ilford Delta Film
Best fine grain film for detailed, professional black and white photography.
A high-speed emulsion built for the darkest corners and fastest subjects. It trades a bit of fine-grain smoothness for the ability to shoot handheld where other films would fail, making it an essential tool for low-light documentary work.
