Tomorrow I'll post some test photos taken on the Ilford and Kodak '3200' films, and you can see how good they can look.

 

Actually they don't look good in the context of the discussion, and demeaning the means of production to cover your argument (the office scanner) is an old internet trick. But how does this add to the enjoyment of grain? If you want to go off on a tangent (as you often do) don't hijack a thread with a bombardment of crap, but open your own thread.

I don't own a scanner. I tried using the one where I work. I agree they don't look so good. The prints look much better. The size limit on here doesn't help.

My comments are on topic. This Johnny fellow claims to know all about the 3200 films. Well, that's hardly the case. My results look much better, because I don't shoot at 3200, but at 800. The grain is visible, but not obtrusive.

I really love delta 3200. I usually try to give it an extra stop and rate it at 1600 for shooting when I do not need to care about blowing out highlights (still processing it at 3200). I still get lovely photos when there is not enough light to do so. I usually go for dd-x at home and recently used a lab that developed it with ilfotec dd whilst traveling.

Delta 3200 is beautiful in medium format as well.

Thanks to the iso standard, I had a nice starting point to explore this film (and all others really). I have tried tmax 3200 in dd-x, it looked nice but I always prefer the look of delta 3200 (don’t ask me why though 😋).

Very interested to learn more about how others expose and develop these. I will try it out processed at 1600. Thanks @giannis

Ornello, thank you for sharing my blog!  I hope that my demonstrable experience is of some use to everyone.

All this talk about 3200 film is making me want to try some, probably Delta.
