I recently and stupidly mistook Delta 400 for Delta 100 and exposed it at ISO 50. The negatives were dramatically overexposed but I believe would have been very nice if processed correctly. This leads me to believe that D3200 might work beautifully at 10% of it's recommended ISO rating. I totally agree with Nathan about pushing film. I don't really know what to expect but the thoughts of a truly universal ISO film appeals to me. Bob Bedwell << Hi Gib, In general I do stick to the film/developer combinations I mentioned. If I am somewhere with Delta 100 in the camera, and the situation calls for a higher EI than 80, I change film to Delta 400 or Delta 3200 as required. I am not that advanced in the art of developing, and have never been able to get satisfactory negatives out of the underexposure/overdevelopment combination. For that reason, I avoid pushing film. Between the speed of D3200 (which for me is 1200-1600) and my Noctilux, I rarely if ever have a need for pushing. >>
