Anybody use Ilford 3200?

[Pherdinand]

It's a lovely film. I've used it at 3200, no problem at all. Considering that I let a lab develop it, it is actually amazing that it worked out fine, unlike Neopan 1600.
In 120-format I like it even more. But that's no wonder...bigger frame, better result.

The grains...well, they are there🙂

I used to rate both Ilford and Kodak 3200 films at 1600EI. Just today is back from development roll of Kodak 3200 TMZ... Grain is there and adds some mood. Still I had just as good results with 400 film pushed 2 stops, or even 800 color film pushed a stop or 2. I must agree that the whole point of 3200 film is pushability well beyong 3200.

You need to give it plenty of development time, thus explaining the 'rate at 1600 and develop at 3200' statements. And film that is anywhere near the expiration date will have fogging to some degree apparently from ambient cosmic rays that bombard us, and the film, constantly. Wild stuff, but goes bad quickly, so don't buy out of date film and expect it to look good.
