I'd start to get diachronic fog; mottled grey around the sprocket holes but no added density in the highlights (contrast) to speak of to my liking. Kodak says not to dilute that much for T Max 100 but I've only personally found any dilution problem with Delta 3200. I don't use T Max 100. 1:1 is working for me with Delta 3200 but i only use the film at 120 not that it's bad but because the results I'm gettin from 35mm Neopan 1600 which works for me at 1600 is superb and that's @ 1:3. The Neopan does not come in 120. Delta is the only superfast 120 film in the game. Straight would not be sharp, maybe OK for sheet film but i even go 1:1 for sheet film in rubber Kodak tanks and metal hangers. My time at 1:1 for the 35mm or 120 Delta 3200 @ 1200 is 16 minutes adjust for the fact that i do this at 70 degrees and agitate once per minute for 5 seconds.
