djcastelli Posted February 10, 2007 Share #1 Posted February 10, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi folks, I'm sure that this has been asked before, but I couldn't find a reference to it: I've been told the actual ISO of Delta 3200 is 1000. If that's so, what would the actual developing time be using Ilford DD-x or Microphen? Anyone out there using this combo? We've got a daughter in college, so there's no way I can afford a Noct or Summilux lens (well, I could, but sleeping the the car is no fun). I'm shooting w/a 50mm Summicron, and lot's of my stuff is exposed in the furball range: 1/15th wide open. Help?! Dan: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean-Michel Komarnicki Posted February 10, 2007 Share #3 Posted February 10, 2007 Hi, Go to: http://www.ilfordphoto.com or more specifically, for Delta 3200: http://www.ilfordphoto.com/products/product.asp?n=10&t=Consumer+%26+Professional+Films# You can download a PDF file from Ilford on this film (and other detailed fact sheets for most of their products) from their site. Ilford includes recommendations for processing their films with Ilford and Kodak chemistry, and even Agfa. Similarly, for T-Max 3200, go to: http://www.kodak.com/global/en/professional/support/techPubs/f4016/f4016.jhtml?id=0.2.24.14.19.18.16&lc=en Follow the links or download a PDF file The information from both Ilford and Kodak is comprehensive. Following it acurately will give you very predictable results; and after a few rolls, you will have a much better understanding as to how to vary the ISO or development to suit your equipment and methods. Have fun! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan: Dan, this is very serious question and it getting you into serious photography "science" And name of that science is "finding true speed of film you are using" Thing is that different people use different cameras, developers, and shooting techniques. All those factors are to be taken into considiration when use film. So, for example, for me (my equipment and shooting style) Delta 3200 gives wanted results when used as 3200 film, and for someone other as 1000 film. So, if you want, you should try to determine Delta3200 "true" speed for you. There are several ways. I am not expert, but you can look at next thread from APUG forum: Film testing - APUG (several pages, but informations and links are there) and at late Barry Thornton web site: barrythornton.com under "personal film speed" tab. Next: Cicada Photography Resource: Zone System , Personalizing Your Film Speed, Part 1 , Personalizing Your Film Speed, Part 2 There are books of course, like "Way beyond monochrome", then Ansel Adam's books, and Barry Thornton's book "Edge of darkness". Good luck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardinal Posted February 13, 2007 Share #6 Posted February 13, 2007 I have used Delta 3200 before and developed it in Ifosol. The results turn out some what grainy. Maybe try HP5 exposed at 800 and develop it in Diafine and see what you think. That is my fast speed combo and it works great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron110n Posted February 14, 2007 Share #8 Posted February 14, 2007 1/15th wide open. Help?! Dan: Dan, Sorry I missed this part. Unless the ISO 3200 garin is your requirement and all you want to do is tame it, Microphen is your best bet. I haven't used ISO 3200 in 35mm, though I use Delta 3200 on a 6x6. What about Delta 400 Pro pushed 2 stop to ISO 1600 so you'll be at 1/30 sec on a cron f/2. With Delta 400 Pro, you have more choices of Developer like Microphen stock @ 12.5 min / 20C. If you need more contrast to compensate to the under exposure, do it 1:1 @ 18 min. Your grain signature with Microphen will be at ISO 1200 after pushing 2 stops. But that depends on your agitation. Remember that it's best to pull your aperture 1/2 stop if you're shooting sub 60th sec. Ilford DD-X is not supported by Ilford Delta. Rodinal is only supported one stop push or pull. Hope this helps. -Ron Creature of Habbits or the Caveman within Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
