    Ilford Delta 3200 Film

    I'm interested in some fast film, so I was thinking about Ilford delta 3200 Film.

    To what ASA does this film test? I'm thinking of the ASA needed to have a Zone I yield a density of 0.01 above film base plus fog. (I think I got that right.) By this test, most films test out to about half the mfg's recommended ASA.

    Also, how does this film behave; what are people's experiences with this film. How well does it expand and contract?

    Anything else you can tell me would be appreciated.

    I cannot give you the Zone information for this, since I only have used it in 35mm. However, I did find that it seems to be developer critical; my best results were from using Ilfotec DDX. Since I expose B/W films like they were transparency films, hopefully someone else can fill in the Zone ratings.

    About 1200 is true speed, maybe 1600. Xtol and DDX both work well. Delta 3200 roll film is quite pretty for subjects such as creamy high-key portraits. I've never developed it other than normal. Its can make nice small prints from 35mm but grain shows up pretty strong past about 4x6 inches.

    Remember, it's not available in LF sizes.

    My EI for Delta 3200 roll film (120) was 800 for N to N+2, 640 for N-1 and 500 for N-2, developed in Agfa Atomal 1+1. That was for Zone I at 0.1 over fb+f. Of course, that developer is long gone and I have not tested it for another one. If they bring it out as sheet film, a possibility mentioned by Simon Galley from Harman over at APUG a while ago, I will check it again.
