It seems to have dropped in speed. Emulsive quotes the speed as 800. In the last few days I had seen 1250 quoted - not from Kodak I hasten to add. However it is news to me that Kodak(assuming Emulsive have got it correct) is 200 slower than D3200. I always thought it was the same speed

So everything is fine to you minoltafan.It will be available by March.
Probably 35mm only? Just like the old P3200

Price will be key. K diehards may buy it at any premium but unless it competes against D3200 I'd worry about its overall viability. The other issue is that unless Ilford cannot make enough of its D3200 to keep up with demand then it suggests we are close to the limit of fast B&W sales so the market now becomes shared - not ideal for either company I would have thought.
Best case scenario is that there are loads of people who simply dropped their use of fast B&W when Kodak dropped P3200 as it was Kodak or nothing and they will swell the market-place

Yes that might be a good rating. But we all should not wonder about a little better characteristics of reintroduced Tmax - special in concern of finer grain.I think the emulsion is the same as the old stuff, people disagreed on the actual sensitivity of TMZ.
In 1989 when it came out PopPhoto tested it and they said it was between 1000-1250 ISO.
Questions:
If you currently use Ilford d3200, why would you switch to Kodak p3200?
If you aren't currently using Ilford d3200, why would you try Kodak p3200 now?
Yes. Might be a difference. I use d3200 on occasion for handheld lower light. Usually shoot ei1600 to tame contrast and grain a bit. Prints in darkroom without problem. I don't expect p3200 to be magically better than d3200, though.Price might be an answer to the first question.

Well I do not use film at 3200 asa. On the occasions that I need 800 or 1600 asa I use Ilford HP5 Plus and develop as necessary. I think that for those Kodak High Priests and their acolytes that the return of this film is a good thing. There will be those who have missed it when it was discontinued and its return will be welcomed and I think that the return of any discontinued film can not really be a bad thing.
Also now that Kodak have got this out of thier system will they please get their finger out and proceed to get the slide film promised for the end of last year out on sale. I worries me that Kodak seem to be taking thier cue from Farranie, promise a colour slide film and bring to market a black and white film after breaking the first dead line whille the colour film is a future dream. One thing that does please me is that kodak has not released the B&W film it as an 'Alpha' version with no real data on how it preforms but I do not think that Kodak has slipped to the level of a cottage industry yet.
So full marks for Kodak reinstating a black and white film but its easier to produce, I have read, than colour slide.
Could do better if kodak if paid more attention in class with regards to the colour slide film

That is interesting. I use d3200, and like it well enough and it is one of the few bw films I shoot in 35mm. Might be worth a try, though I've been trying limit the number of types of films I use.Both films have the same number in their name, but I never felt they looked much the same, and have always preferred the Tmax.
Have been using the Ilford lately, as there was no other choice for fresh film, and I could get sort of close to the look I wanted, but have still been buying the occasional roll of well out of date Tmax, at two or three times the price, just because it was worth it to me to get what I really wanted.
This is the best news I have heard in a while and totally unexpected.
