Subject: [Leica] Advice on getting good results with Delta 3200

Dear all,

there is a candlelit vigil in our town centre this evening (it starts at
19:00 BST), to commemorate the events of 11/9 and also to protest about the
bombing of Afghanistan.  BTW, I am NOT wanting to start a flame war on the
rights or wrongs of what is going on - I just want to record it.

I plan to use my M6 with either the 35 f2 or 50 f2.  Since the only
available illumination will be candlelight and streetlamps, I figure that
I'm going to need a film like Delta 3200.

I reckon that the exposure will be around 1/30 - 1/60 at f2 (which makes me
more inclined to go with the 35mm).  This is based on a spotmeter reading
taken off a grey card which was illuminated by a single candle - it gave a
reading of about EV2 1/3 - EV 2/23.

Anyway, any advice on developers, dilutions, times and temperatures to get
good results would be appreciated.  I will probably rate the film at EI3200.

TIA

Regards
