Thanks Joe

Do you process it at 200 or 400? Just curious if the grain will be finer
when processed at the slower speed. I should be receiving two rolls in a
week or so.
I am also planning on checking out the Ilford Delta 400 and just for fun
the Delta 3200. The 3200 may make a good B&W process at home film for
someone just starting out.
The specs on both films show a 2 stop loss after 2 minutes, but the
sensitivity does extend to 700nm. Once my gas arrives I may have a go at
seeing how the 400 responds to hypering. I have about 4 B&W films to
test. Just wish we had some clear nights.

George

Clear skies and good health
