But I like the tonality of Delta 3200 better. These films have a 'true speed' of 1000 but they're very low contrast at that speed, so when pushed they actually give normal contrast and still pretty good shadow detail, better than pushed 400 films! Develop the 3200 films in Tmax Developer for best results. I've tried D-76, which SUCKS, and Xtol, which is good but not as good as Tmax Developer. I like the tonality better with Tmax Developer. -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-437-8990 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://blog.chriscrawfordphoto.com My latest work! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Become a fan on Facebook On 11/6/11 10:17 PM, "Richard Man" <richard at richardmanphoto.com> wrote: >Yes, I know Canikon can do clean 52000 ISO, but humor me please. > >Amongst film that can go up to 1000-1600, which has the best grain and >dynamic range? > >Delta max 3200, Tmax 3200, Neopan 1600, or push Tri-X or HP5+? > >I understand any of those should probably not go above ISO 1000, and that >Neopan 1600 is no longer in production. > >I am currently using Neopan 16 and like it enough, but looking for >alternatives since it is out of production (I still have ~80 rolls though) > >Any sage advice welcome.
