TECHNICAL INFORMATION DELTA 100 PROFESSIONAL ISO 100/21º, FINE GRAIN, BLACK AND WHITE PROFESSIONAL FILM FOR SUPERB PRINT QUALITY

ILFORD 100 DELTA PROFESSIONAL is a medium SPECTRAL SENSITIVITY speed, fine grain, black and white film, ideal for Wedge spectrogram to tungsten light pictorial and fine art photography. (2850K)

100 DELTA Professional 35mm film is coated on . 0 125mm/5-mil acetate base and is available in 24 or 36 exposure cassettes, or in bulk lengths of 30.5 metres (100ft). 100 DELTA Professional Sensitivity 35mm film is supplied in DX coded cassettes, suitable for all 35mm cameras.

Cameras with through-the-lens metering will usually adjust the exposure automatically when using filters. With some automatic exposure cameras, the correction given for deep red and orange filters can produce negatives under exposed by as much as 11/2 stops.

EXPOSURE RATING 100 DELTA Professional has a speed rating of ISO 100/21º (100ASA, 21DIN, EI 100/21) to daylight. Best results are obtained at EI 100/21, but good image quality will also be obtained at meter settings from EI 50/18 to EI 200/24.

t should be noted that the exposure index (EI) range recommended for 100 DELTA Professional is based on a practical evaluation of film speed and is not based on foot speed, as is the ISO standard.

MAKING LONG EXPOSURES For exposures between 1/2 and 1/10 000 second, no adjustments are needed for reciprocity law failure. When exposures longer than 1/2 second are given, 100 DELTA Professional along with other films, needs to be given more exposure than indicated by a meter. Use the graph to calculate the increased exposure time which should be given once the measured time is known.

In some processors the full amount of hardener cannot be used as the fix and wash times cannot be extended adequately. In these circumstances we recommend starting with the minimum amount of hardener to have some effect. This is around 3–6 mls of hardener per litre of working strength HYPAM used. This increases the film hardness slightly but has a negligible effect on the fix and wash efficiency. When fix and wash times are restricted the maximum amount of HYPAM HARDENER recommended is 10–20ml of hardener per litre of working strength HYPAM used. This higher amount gives a definite increase to the hardness of the films processed and while fixing and washing efficiency are reduced the films will be adequately fixed and washed for most purposes.

MAKING LONG EXPOSURES For exposures between 1/2 and 1/10 000 second, no adjustments are needed for reciprocity law failure. When exposures longer than 1/2 second are given, PAN F Plus, along with other films, needs to be given more exposure than indicated by a meter.

The amount of HYPAM HARDENER that can be added to the fixer is dependant on the film and process conditions used. In some processors the full amount of hardener cannot be used as the fix and wash times cannot be extended adequately. In these circumstances we recommend starting with the minimum amount of hardener to have some effect. This is around 3–6 mls of hardener per litre of working strength HYPAM used. This increases the film hardness slightly but has a negligible effect on the fix and wash efficiency. When fix and wash times are restricted the maximum amount of HYPAM HARDENER recommended is 10–20ml of hardener per litre of working strength HYPAM used. This higher amount gives a definite increase to the hardness of the films processed and while fixing and washing efficiency are reduced the films will be adequately fixed and washed for most purposes.

DEVELOPMENT TIMES The table gives development times for both manual and machine processing PAN 100 and PAN 400. These times will produce negatives of average contrast suitable for printing in all enlargers. The development times are intended as a guide and may be altered if a different result is needed.

For manual processing in spiral tanks and deep tanks, the development times are based on intermittent agitation. Where continuous agitation is used for manual processing (as in a dish/tray or with some types of developing tank), reduce these times by up to 15%. For use in rotary processors without a pre-rinse, reduce the spiral tank development times by up to 15%. A pre-rinse is not recommended as it can lead to uneven processing.

Note Development times may need adjusting to suit individual processing systems and working practices. If an established system is producing good results, adjust the recommended development times until the desired contrast level is obtained. Development times in other manufacturers’ developers are included for your convenience, and are only a general guide. Other manufacturers can and do change their product specifications from time to time, and the development times may change as a result.

Some products in this fact sheet might not be available in your country. risk of physical damage a fixer hardener may be needed when using a roller transport film processor.

Using a fix hardener will require the recommended fix and wash times to be extended. Depending on the film and processing conditions the hardened fix time will be between 4 and 10 minutes and the subsequent wash time 10–20 minutes in running water. The amount of HYPAM HARDENER that can be added to the fixer is dependant on the film and process conditions used. In some processors the full amount of hardener cannot be used as the fix and wash times cannot be extended adequately. In these circumstances we recommend starting with the minimum amount of hardener to have some effect. This is around 3–6 mls of hardener per litre of working strength HYPAM used. This increases the film hardness slightly but has a negligible effect on the fix and wash efficiency. When fix and wash times are restricted the maximum amount of HYPAM HARDENER recommended is 10–20ml of hardener per litre of working strength HYPAM used. This higher amount gives a definite increase to the hardness of the films processed and while fixing and washing efficiency are reduced the films will be adequately fixed and washed for most purposes. When fix and wash times can be extended the maximum amount of HYPAM HARDENER needed to achieve fully hardened films is 1 part to 40 parts working strength HYPAM i.e. 24 ml per litre. Drying To avoid drying marks, use a clean squeegee or chamois cloth to wipe FP4 Plus film before hanging it to dry. Dry FP4 Plus at 30–40ºC/86–104ºF in a dr ying cabinet or at room temperature in a clean dust-free area.

STORAGE Store FP4 Plus in a cool (10–20ºC/50–68ºF), dry place in its original packaging.

Exposed film Once exposed, process FP4 Plus as soon as practical. Images on exposed but unprocessed film will not degrade for up to several months when stored as recommended.

Page 3 of 4 XP2 Super PROOF PRINTS Proof prints on colour paper are usually supplied by the processing lab with the negatives. These are ideal for deciding which negatives to print on black and white paper. Proof prints made from XP2 SUPER negatives on colour paper can either be close-to-neutral black and white prints, or colour toned monochrome prints. For easy printing on colour paper, it is advisable to expose the whole film at the same meter setting, although if necessary selected frames on a single film can be up or down-rated to suit individual needs.

Labs already set up to produce proof prints from XP2 negatives do not need to make any changes. The dedicated printer set-up negatives and sample prints, available from ILFORD, can be used by labs for XP2 SUPER. These make it easy for labs to obtain proof prints on colour paper from XP2 SUPER negatives.

STORAGE

Unexposed film Store unexposed film in the same way as colour film, ie in a cool (10–20°C/50–68°F), dry place in its original packaging.

Exposed film As with any film, once exposed, process XP2 SUPER as soon as practical. Images on exposed but unprocessed film will not degrade during normal working periods, ie, up to a month, when stored in a cool (10–20°C/50–68°F), dry place.

Negatives Store processed negatives in a cool (10– 20°C/50–68°F), dry place, in the dark. Suitable negative storage sleeves include those made of cellulose triacetate, Mylar, paper (pH6.5–7.5) or inert polyester.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION SFX 200 BLACK AND WHITE CAMERA FILM WITH EXTENDED RED SENSITIVITY FOR CREATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY

DESCRIPTION SPECTRAL SENSITIVITY ILFORD SFX 200 is a medium speed black and white Wedge spectrogram to tungsten light camera film for creative photography. It has extended (2850K) red sensitivity (up to 740nm) and is especially suited for use with a filter to create special effects. Using a very deep red filter, for example the ILFORD SFX filter, skies can be rendered almost black and most green vegetation almost white. Its unusual tonal rendition ensures interesting results for a range of subjects, including portraits, landscapes, townscapes and architecture.

Best results are often obtained in bright sunshine or in the studio under tungsten lighting. SFX 200 has a peak red sensitivity at 720nm and extended red sensitivity up to 740nm. SFX 200 also has full panchromatic sensitivity to ensure good pictorial contrast with or without the use of a filter. USE OF FILTERS It has a wide exposure latitude, is compatible with all Any yellow, orange or red filter may be used, but the normal developers and has a wide tonal range. effect will depend on its transmission characteristics. The redder the filter, the more dramatic the effect. The ILFORD AVAILABILITY SFX very deep red filter is recommended.

If you want to check the TTL metering system on your camera before starting, set the metering system of the camera to EI 200/24 and, with your filter in place, make a series of exposures up to ±2 stops from the indicated exposure. After processing decide which is the best negative and re-set the camera if necessary. As an example, the correct exposure in bright sunlight with the ILFORD SFX filter is around 1/30 second at f5.6.

PROCESSING SFX 200 can be processed in all types of processing equipment including spiral tanks, rotary processors, deep tanks and automatic processors. Standard capacity figures and replenishment rates can be maintained. SFX 200 is very robust in processing and will tolerate less than ideal processing conditions. Also, it will not contaminate the processing chemicals.

Development times The table gives development times for both manual and machine processing. These times will produce negatives of average contrast suitable for printing in all enlargers. The development times are intended as a guide and may be altered if a different result is needed. For manual processing in spiral tanks and deep tanks, the development times are based on intermittent agitation. Where continuous agitation is used for manual processing (as with some types of processing tank), reduce these times by up to 15%. For use in rotary processors without a pre-rinse, reduce the spiral tank development times by up to 15%. Generally, a pre-rinse is not recommended as it can lead to uneven processing.

Note Development times may need adjusting to suit individual exposing conditions, processing systems and working practices. Adjust the recommended development times until the desired contrast level is obtained. Development times in other manufacturers' developers are included for your convenience and are only a general guide. Adjust these times, if necessary, to suit your requirements. Other manufacturers can and do change their products' specifications from time to time and the development times may change as a result.
