Response to Rodinal 1:50 & Delta 3200

from John O'Connell (boywonderiloveyou@hotmail.com)
Well, I tried 14 minutes at 70 degrees F, Rodinal 1:50 on two rolls of Delta 3200: one metered by my refurbished F3, one incident metered by my Luna Pro sbc (which agrees with the F3).

I now know that the shutter in my old Leica M3 will see no more service until it is serviced -- its negs look at least a stop underexposed.

The F3 negatives are denser but need a little more punch -- 14 min @ EI 1600 looks to be almost N-1. A little better mid-tone separation & I'll be happy.

The grain was smaller than what I'm used to on TMZ, and quite attractive. I'd love the explanation as to why the larger grain patterns of TMZ & Delta 3200 are more attractive than the sci-fi look of TMY & Delta 400...
