I've been using Ilford Delta 400 film and found it to have less grain than HP5+. It's also a lot more forgiving during processing then TMAX. I use Ilford ID-11 and am very pleased with the sharpness and grain(or lack there of) WITH the Delta films. But it all boils down to the type of image you want and what fits your needs.

I've been using ID-11 1:3 & 1:1 with pleasing results. Just my .02

Have any of you tried to develop Ilford Delta 400 in D-76 or Edwal FG-7?

P.S. my address has changed

I would have to agree with Andy. It seems that everyone has some favorite that others wouldn't touch. I suggest trying a film and using it enough to be familiar with it's characteristics and then try another film to see how it compares to your tastes. I tried Tri-x for a year and now I'm looking into the Ilford Delta films to see if they "look" good to me. Also I wouldn't mess with filters until your familiar with what the films look like without them. I haven't done too much with filters because I'm still trying out films. I'm taking things one step at a time. Learn as much about one thing before I move on to learn another.
