Using Delta 3200 in M7

[brainwood]

I've to say that I like delta 3200 @3200

Hi

Slightly off topic but I love Delta 3200 at ASA 3200, though I only shoot 35mm.

Delta 3200 at 3200 has a great slighty harsh tonality that I like.

I have recently been playing with it pushed 1 stop to ASA6400 as I like the high grain /high contrast it gives.

Here the contrast is hightened further by the use of a modern aspherical Nokton lens.

I think what I'm trying to say is that Delta 3200 seems to have quite a good range from around asa1600 where its maxium tonality seems to lie to 6400 and beyond if you are after that high con/high grain look. Have a play around with speed ratings ... the next roll of Delta 3200 I will try at 1600 to see how it turns out. Surely this is what makes film fun and exciting to use - enjoy playing around with it.

I agree that 1600 is enough. I have had best results, when pushing, using Ilford Microphen; and also with XTOL. I have a bottle of DDX but haven't gotten to it yet, so can't comment.

I feel, based on my personal results, that Delta 3200 probably has a true ISO of around 1000. So 1600 is already a push. I find that Neopan 1600 has a true ISO of somewhere between 640 to 800. I experimented by shooting the films in the daytime, mostly in circumstances that were not overly contrasty, and rating the EI by the negatives that looked most normal.
