Longing for her.

So there I was thinking, Delta 3200 can be pulled to 800 according to the dev sheet but .. why would you? Well, I quite liked Delta 3200 at 1600 but souped at 3.2k in D76, it had an attractive grain and a unique look. But I thought I'd take it one step further.

 

Firstly, why did I shoot at ISO 1000? The method to my madness was that since the top shutter speed of my M3 is an 1/1000th then it would be easy to follow the Sunny 16 rule and shoot at f/16@1000 in bright sunshine.

 

In the end, I wanted to see if shooting Delta 3200 pulled would give me results I preferred to shooting T-Max 400 pushed. And if it was preferable, would it be enough to justify the extra cost in both film and developing?

 

Another point of note is that as I have flown more times than a seagull with one leg, this film has been x-rayed too many times to count, probably in excess of 20 times. Would that be an issue?

 

My roll of T-Max400 at 1000 iso is on it's way, I'll post something off it after I soup it.
