A few of the regular B&W images from my Grand Canyon adventure, some color and one IR to come soon. The Delta 3200 was a happy accident, I had half a roll left over from the night before, apparently it's AMAZING for daytime too!
I experimented with Delta 3200 in my Mamiya 7II for daytime landscapes too, but haven't had the opportunity to do any darkroom prints.The neg scans do look a bit grainy though. How prominent is the grain on these prints close up?

Not at all prominent, I was shocked!! I mean REALLY fine grain, the negatives LOOK thin but they scan amazingly well, I'll zoom in on a spot and can post it somewhere or PM you if I can send images by PM I'm not sure if I can I'll check when I get home. Give me a bump if you don't here from me in a few days.
Oh I should also mention that I've found (through ignorance originally) that Ilford's "one shot" developers can be used more than once... This was the third run with a 1L bottle first I did 2 rolls in a 1L tank then one roll in a 500ml tank and then this third run in the 500ml tank. I tend to add more than the 500ml of required dev in these situations as I know there is potential for the dev to be exhausted and start adding 30 seconds after the second or 3rd run, but I processed 4 rolls of 120 then followed that with 3 rolls of 35mm all with the 1L of working solution DD-X and no "replenishment" and didn't have any issues, so maybe the "seasoned" developer has some kind of grain lessening effect? I do know with Ilfsol 3 the grain is much higher/larger in clumps and slower than DD-X.
This picture in my gallery was taken with Delta 3200 on the 7II, and processed in DDX. http://www.apug.org/gallery1/showimage.php?i=66373&catid=member&imageuser=19779I I usually use 500ml of working solution to dev one 120 film, then discard it, although I do re-use stop and fix.I also use an Epsom scanner, but the V700.
Nice, I'm on my phone but I don't see much grain. I definitely notice more grain in daytime shots than night time/low light.. Night it's MUCH blotchier.
Thanks for the close-up scan. It does look pretty good. I'll rescan my neg at a higher res and have another look, as the original was only 2400. I'll also try re-using the dev in future and see if it makes any difference.
I wa sort of joking about the "seasoned" dev I don't think I made a difference, I think what made the difference was just that the sun was very bright so I think the light just hit the film strongly and wasn't so scattered as in low light situations. The lower light images weren't as good. I think 3200dpi is the max the scanner can get before interpolation so I think 2400 is accurate, it just depends on the available light. Let me know if things change.
