The only part of this I agree with is that Delta 3200 has a true speed of about 1000. But the results are far from awful (I love 120 D3200 shot at 3200) and you certainly can't match then with Tri-X (especially TXP 4x5) or HP5+.

This is the sort of thing said by people who have never really tried the film or who consider quality results in terms only if conventional tonality and grain.

D3200 is a great film.
