I'm going to be working on a project for a non-profit No secret. See my previous post. I use 85 degrees. It speeds up the process, reduces wet time which plays a part in grain. Though not as much as older less hardened films. Make sure the stop, fixer, wash and photo flo are 85 degrees too. I always mix fresh photo flo from the wash water each time. That way it's up to temp. and fresh. Nothing worse than old photo flo. My agitation is 5 inversions in five seconds every 30 seconds. Other people agitate P3200 a lot less than I do. But I find my negatives are gorgeous. You can see some of it on my web page. First three pictures in the sports section. All three are at 6400. The jumping kid (basketball) was in very horrible light. 90 Summicron f/2 at 1/250. Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Friends help you move.
