Actually if Phil and others are saying to shoot it way under 3200 then
that has also been my experince.
I believe that with most developers this film has a true speed of 1200.
It's a stop and a half slower than advertised.
I could not believe i could not even shoot it at 1600!
So I switched to Neopan 1600 and use the Delta 3200 at 1200 only for
medium format,
as it is the only game in town for that speed range in medium format.
