Hi,

Sure, it's still a big deal for me too, in reality and conceptually,
but Delta 3200 is nice and responds similarly to speed-enhancing
developers and pushing.  After recent reformulations, its base speed
is sightly higher too.

And don't think you can store TMZ.  It fogs really fast.  Fine for
your Lomo or whatever, but for quality work it's useless well before
its expiry, at least in the climate we have here.  It won't sit
happily beside that freezer full of APX 25 you have that still works
fine . . .

Marty
