Hi, has anybody got any suggested development times for Ilford 3200 in Sprint Chemistry and/or T-Max 100 developer/Rodinal.

Thanks for any help with this!!

The times for Rodinal are available from The Massive Dev Chart at:

This is an extremely useful resource that all b/w enthusiasts should bookmark or add to their Favorites list!

For EI 800, I find it needs 9.5 mins in T-Max at 24 deg C. This is quite different to the suggestions from the Massive Dev Chart, and Ilford.

Ilford posted a data sheet for Delta 3200 not too long ago (you do need an Adobe reader). Isn't Sprint just like D76 1:1? I'm getting great results with Xtol 1:1. I use the time for straight Xtol in the aforementioned data sheet with 150% more time to compensate for the dilution. So far, I've never overdeveloped Delta 3200, but have underdeveloped it. I suggest being generous with both exposure and development. (The later is not my usual advice!)

Here's the URL: http://www.ilford.com/html/us_english/bw.html I might add, somewhat off topic, that the data sheet for SFX has some interesting comments on filtration that you'd never know from the instructions in the box!
