Delta 3200 (unknown exposure) in Rodinal - Suggestions?

[marcmarc]

Hi Everyone,

Earlier this week a friend lent me her Holga to do a little shooting at dusk on a rainy day. I used a few rolls of Delta 3200. Since these are experimental shots I'd like to soup them in Rodinal which I normally use for slow and medium films. I've always been a bit curious to see what Delta 3200 looks like in Rodinal. The Holga I used had no control over f-stop or shutter speed. Any suggestions for a developing time?
Digitaltruth.com has listings for 1+25 but I'd like a higher dilution such as 1+100.
Thanks,
Marc

Oh god that is going to be quite some prominent grain there!

Well show us the result....

And here are times for 1+50...

Holga is generally 1/60th to 1/125th and f/8 or f/11

Dusk as in just after sunset? Then I would suggest the EI of the film as it was exposed is somewhere between 1600 and 6400.

an idea

try developing one roll in developer pat. 2757091
I gave it the codename promisol

I find D3200 in Rodinal fairly horrid. Large crisp grain and little detail, but then again you are using a Holga!

Firstly I would figure out whether the exposure is likely to be over, under, or about 1000-1600, then decide on developer., If in teh region of about 800, Rodinal will be about right , but if above 1000, youd be better of with somehting generating more speed.

Last time I developed I used D3200 and rodinal 1+ 25 and will see if I can find the times. No point going more dilute IMO as the film is low contrast (so no worries with the rodinal straight line) and the grain wont get much finer than gravel!

Try Rodinal 1+100, 2 min initial agitation and then stand for an hour. Be sure to play Pink Floyd's Shine on you Crazy Diamond in the same room, the melodies will agitate the mixture perfectly. If that doesnt work, try some Led Zeppelin.
