Delta 3200 with diluted D76?
I'm big fan on D-76, but I use it practically always as one shot developer, in 1:1 dilution. Now I'm going to try out how Ilford's Delta 3200 (120) works as fast film (I'm planning to rate it as EI 800 or EI 1000) for handheld street photography - using MF camera. That leads to my question: Does anyone know any base time for developing it with D76 1:1? All datasheets provides information only for stock solution which is bit too expensive way for using developer Other option for me could be Rodinal 1+25 or 1+50 but as far as I know, result would then be really grainy. -- -Juke |

That leads to my question: Does anyone know any base time for developing it with D76 1:1? All datasheets provides information only for stock solution which is bit too expensive way for using developer HI there! I suggest to use microphen stock for a batch of max 7 rolls. This is what I tryed for enough reliability and economicity with high speed rolls. Several times I've obtained fantastic results, with no so much grain. But when you use a MF camera (mine is a Rolleiflex 2,8) the grain fo 3200 is not the first factor, IMO. And the 3200 has a lovely graininess, bit large sometimes but well done and distributed. BTW I can suggest you my times for id11/d76: 15' at 20°C with 4 inversions in 1 minutes. You have to await a little more contrast. If you want to down the contrast try less agitation a slight less time. Other option for me could be Rodinal 1+25 or 1+50 but as far as I know, result would then be really grainy. Never used for this kind of rolls, but if you have snowballs on the 100 iso rolls... wonder what you can obtain with a 3200....
