ILFORD PAN F+ now even in Large Format – Detail, texture and Tonal Precision

May 7, 2026

The introduction of Ilford Pan F Plus in 4×5” and 8×10” brings a classic low-speed emulsion into a format where its defining characteristics can be fully controlled. With higher midtone contrast than Ilford FP4 Plus and Ilford Delta 100, PAN F+ delivers exceptional tonal separation and finely defined textures. In large format, this results in a precise, graphic rendering where exposure and development can be tailored to each individual negative.

Ilford Delta 100 Professional – førstevalget for høyoppløselige svart-hvitt bilder

February 19, 2025

Høsten 1992 sto jeg i et mørkerom fylt med forventninger utover det vanlige. For første gang hadde jeg eksponert og fremkalt den helt nye Ilford Delta 100 Professional-filmen og forberedte meg på å lage forstørrelser. I det bildet gradvis kom til syne i fremkallingsskålen under det røde lyset, så jeg en bildekvalitet jeg aldri hadde opplevd før fra en ISO 100 film.

Ilford Delta 100 Professional – the first choice for high-resolution black-and-white images

December 28, 2024

In the autumn of 1992, I stood in a darkroom filled with expectations beyond the ordinary. For the first time, I had exposed and developed the brand new Ilford Delta 100 Professional film and was preparing to make enlargements. As the image gradually emerged in the developing tray under the red light, I saw a picture quality I had never experienced before from an ISO 100 film.

The Palace in Bożków: A Historical Treasure in Decline

November 17, 2024

The Palace in Bożków, also known as Bożków Castle, is a striking historical edifice located in the Lower Silesia Province of Poland. Built in the 16th century by Count von Magnis, this magnificent structure holds a rich history intertwined with nobility, architectural grandeur, and a series of unfortunate declines. Today, it stands as a fragile relic of its former glory, beckoning for attention and restoration.

Ilford XP2 Super 400 – an attractive alternative in black/white film

April 7, 2023

How many different black and white films does the world really need? In reality, many of the products are very similar - or indeed identical (due to so-called "rebranding«). Ilford XP2 Super 400 is a film type that is the only one (remaining) in its class. This is because it is a black and white film that is actually based on color technology. A color film that is completely color blind - and therefore a black and white film. If this seems confusing, let me clarify a bit.
