Kenneth,(posted 9195 days ago)I am a newcomer to B&W, but after extensive experimentation with Delta 3200, I have come to love it. I found that EI1250-1600 develops well in Xtol 1:1 15'@75 degrees. your water may vary. for whatever reason, I love the negatives because they scan much better than the other films that I have tried. my initial results with Delta 3200 were disappointing, using the Ilford recommended processing times for ID-11. much better in Xtol, and this latest roll is shot at EI3200 and Xtol 1:2 20'@75 degrees. I love the texturing, and the look I get with my 12x18 prints.
