The processing sheet can be seen at: http://160.79.190.117/html/us_english/pdf/delta3200.pdf I have used this information with an adjustment for rotary processing with satisfactory results and have had a good time with the stuff behind Summicrons. The two pieces of mine presently hanging in a somewhat prestigious local juried exhibit were both done on Delta 3200. I do think the tonal gradation is there, but when you see the prints, you will know that a high speed film was used.
