From the looks of things, I might have to give it a shot! (placing an order for some other stuff soon). How does it perform in Xtol?
Delta 3200 is my alter-ego when I want a break from large-format cameras and making big prints.
I absolutely love it in a Nikon tucked under my parka on a rainy day, and love its silvery scale even
more on triple-toned MGWT. Like the old saying, "a marriage made in heaven".
Oh yes. And that sentence, and the similar ones that have been presented in the past, are the main reason I continue to purchase film camera and (especially) darkroom equipment. Both new and used. I'm not an artist, and don't pretend to be. But I do have a retirement that is beginning to creep closer, and these no BS sentences tell me it's most likely going to be an enjoyable one.

Can someone point me to some work done with Delta 3200 in 120? Piqued my interest....
Roger - sel 1:20 (cool and generally brief), gold toner, weak and cold, but anywhere from 30 sec to 5 min or longer,depending (longer toning is preferable to high concentration due to expense - basically
GP1 at half-strength). Order doesn't matter as long as the rinse between is thorough. But I generally
like to evaluate the cold effect of gold first. Last is Kodak Brown very brief, cool and dilute, which you already know how to do. This needs to mature in the rinse awhile to judge the effect, and if inadequate, can be treated a bit more (better safe than sorry). But MGWT is so wonderfully versatile
that I might skip one or the other toners relative to specific subject matter. I print these 3200 pictures real small, but mount them on a relatively large mat to draw attention in - quite a different
strategy than my large-format work, and more about poetic first impression rather than discovering
extreme detail. I love the classic work of Kertesz in this respect.

I took a look at some of the sample pictures that were posted here. That is 3200ISO film? There is hardly any grain at all! One of the posters uploaded a picture of his grandfather and after artificially enlarging the picture to an almost insane degree, I could *almost* read the dates on the calendar. That looks to be some amazing film! Does it look as good in 35mm format?
I think the official ISO is 1000 or thereabouts, like TMZ. But it's optimized for pushing without gaining excess contrast. It's a really good film, but what makes it particularly special (well, aside from being the only thing like it now - what made it special over TMZ) is the availability in 120. It's almost an inducement to buy a Mamiya 7 or the like just for this film, and it provides a great inducement for me to spring for the 80mm 1.9 for my 645 Pro. I haven't yet - the 2.8N is fairly fast for medium format and much smaller and lighter plus I already have it - but it would be a great match.

Yeah, i push it all the time to 6400 in my mamiya 7, unfortunately, you have to make an ev adjustment because the iso dial ends at 1600. And with the extra contrast of the mamiya 7 glass, it is yummy!
