Hi Simon,
My only comment is, if you have as you say.....>> i have a lot of 3200 but
no real need for it <<<<

Whatever ASA you use it at I'd be burning it up as quickly as I could simply
because keeping that film around for any length of time, whether frozen
solid or not it's deteriorating like an out of control wild fire.

It's the effects of the planet's normal radiation exposing it no matter
where you keep it, other than probably a lead box, that you'll find a
fogging effect through every roll.

If you buy and use right away one doesn't find the effect, however keep it
around any length of time and it begins to appear and gets worse over time.
Just an observation from using it over the years. I gave up buying it and
now use neopan 1600 .
