Can't say much about color, but as for Black and White work: Process the Delta3200 at 1600, you'll be pleased. If it's 'artsy' you want, take along a Holga and load it with the Delta3200 or TMZ, it just doesn't get any more 'artsy' than that. If you like the HP5, try good old Tri-x. Tri-x is great for pushing to EI800, and you'll be thankful for the exposure lattitude. Give Xtol a shot. If you don't particularly care for grain, you will be pleased with the advantages of this developer. In my situation, I took 2 rolls of TMX, 4 rolls of Tri-x, and 4 rolls of 120 D3200. I used an M6 and a Holga. At the reception I let some of the children walk around with the Holga and snap away. Ironically enough, 2 of these shots were outstanding. I made a book for the couple after the wedding of 10 photos. of the 10, 3 were taken with the D3200(Holga), 2 from TMX(M6), and 5 from Tri-x(M6). The couple liked the B&W book more than the professional work. I think couples are just afraid of B&W, until they see how nice it can be. I'm certainly no professional. Hope this helps!
