Believe this is at 68F. I was unable to get a data sheet from supplier,
but second hand info allegedly from data sheet says EI 1600, XTOL stock, 6
min. at 68. Believe Erwin processed in both XTOL and D76 and concluded
that it was a very good EI 1600 and almost as good as D400 at EI of 400.
Suspect that he used the Ilford rec of stock XTOL and 6 min., but only he
can confirm....if he doesn't pick up on thread, try a direct e-mail....I
only have one body so won't be shooting D3200 till later today and
tomorrow. Will use EI 1600 and take off from your results if you have any
by time I have run through a roll or 2. The real answer of course is that
I shouldn't be so damn lazy (or selfish with time) and test it
thoroughly......penny wise pound foolish I guess.
