That's nice! The grain is very effective.

I love the grain. I may have to give that film a try.

I love Delta 3200 in my Mamiya 645, but I've preferred it to TMZ precisely because I can get it in 120, while before it was discontinued (and maybe now that I can get it again, getting back into photography to find to my delight that Kodak brought it back) I preferred TMZ in 35mm both for better (i.e. less of it) grain and the fact I seemed to be able to get an additional stop of effective speed from it. But buying a toy Ektar H35 to play with got me interested in half frame and other smaller than 35 formats in an "embrace the grain" approach, and this is a good example. It's almost an extension of why I like black and white so much - it's almost always (unless the subject has no color at all) an abstraction to some degree. Bigger grain just makes it more so. Like it!

Delta 3200 is said not to keep well, so I'm not counting at all on the dozen or so rolls of 120 I put in my film fridge back circa 2013 or so and have been there ever since. Now I gotta get me some fresh stock o'that. :smile:

Thanks, Roger. I agree with you about 3200 in 6x6., for which I use the Opticfilm 120, which is a noisy beast for that, and 135 version for 35mm.
