Hi sagai,

I love soup, but I wouldn't want to eat Retro Special developer.
That would be very indigestible.

Delta 3600? Did someone made a mistake in the factory or is that a wishful thinking?

Now seriously, I've used Retro Special developer, but only with R320.
You could ask Foma if they have made any tests with other films.
Also you could look at the datasheet for Retropan with times for other developers like HC110, cross-check D3200 in that one and make an educated guess as to what time would be for D3200.

Aye, who else could make two errors in one short sentence other than the guys from former eastern Europe

I am also about to guestimate the development time, I was wondering if there is anyone we had already been passed the learning curve.

Cheers!

Well, I am interested in your result. Looking at the content of the Retro special developer it also could be a suitable developer for D3200. Do not worry about some mistakes in a few sentences. We all make mistakes!

I'll scan tonight and let you know
I have Pan400 shoot@1600 and also fomapan 400 shoot@320.
It would be a waste not to us this retro special when I have it anyway for Retropan soft 320.
