I rate the D3200 at 1600 and develop it in Ilfotec DD-X 1+4, 8 minutes at 20C. I have also gotten good results with XTOL stock solution, 6½ to 7 mins. at 20C. Keep in mind that I use a Jobo processor, so these are times with continuous agitation. If you are doing it by hand, then perhaps you should lengthen the times a bit. The standard response to questions like yours is that you really should do your own tests, since each person's habits regarding exposure and agitation are different. But obviously, since the vigil is this evening, you do not have much time for testing...
