Hey all,
I've recently started shooting film again. I've got an old Nikon Nikkormat from the 70's that was my parents, it's the camera I used to use in high school.
Anyway, I just purchased a roll of Ilford 3200 b/W, not realizing my camera only goes up to 1600. How should I go about shooting it? I'm assuming underexposing would be the way to go?

The best camera is one that still works!
Just under expose by a stop and you'll be fine. 
Actually from memory a lot of people expose this film at 1600 and pull the developing back a little.

The Delta 3200 fact sheet gives development times for ISO 400 all the way up to 12500.
For the best results you'll want to process it yourself in DD-X or Microphen.

It's a metered manual camera anyway, so you're not too much at the mercy of the meter.

Nikkormats are the best ..... hope you use it for years to come.

Thanks for the tips!
I'm not at the point where I'll be developing it myself, I'll definitely be taking it to a camera store near where I live.
It's a pretty sweet camera, I do like using it
