RE: [Leica] Ilford Delta 3200

["B. D. Colen" <bdcolen@earthlink.net>]

I got perfectly decent results at 1600 - decent in terms of getting
worthwhile images in lousy light - but the grain was large enough to walk
across...On the other hand, with Tri-X at 1600, I lost a little shadow
detail, but have to look for the grain....Hey, if you want to spend twice as
much for the film, and have to worry about which film to use when, use the
TMY at 3200 or the Delta...otherwise, just carry Tri-X and a sharpie..:-)
