I am in the process of reading the latest edition of the Anchell & Troop book, and they do mention D3200. The book is very good but it is not gospel and some of the authors' opinions (like their dislike of the Delta and T-Max films) are certainly not universally shared. I read their statement about Jobo a few weeks after buying my first Jobo processor, and so far I am very happy with the negatives produced in it. For me, any small disadvantage from continuous agitation is outweighed by the convenience and most importantly consistency provided by the Jobo. I love D3200, finding that it gives me nice printable (scannable) negatives that I was unable to obtain with TMZ. I rate it at 1200 and develop in XTOL stock for 7 to 71/2 minutes at 20°C/68°F. Bob Bedwell (also here on the LUG) prefers a shorter development time of 61/2 minutes.
