Ilford Delta 3200 in D-76 1:1

Ilford Delta 3200 in D-76 1:1
I couldn't find any times for this combo online but I really like D-76 1:1. So I guessed based on the times on the Massive Dev chart (they have times for D3200 shot at 6400 in 1:1).

I went with 20 minutes (I don't know temp my thermometer seems to have broken) but probably close to 22 degrees Celsius because that's what my basement temp usually is and I use chemicals and water at room temperature.

10 inversions to start 5/minute after that, water for stop Ilford Rapid Fixer to fix.

Thought I would post this as a starting point for anyone who wants to give it a try in the future. Season to taste.

Just a note, I assume no one has tried this before EVER, or else we would have solved a lot of problems because this stuff has enough grain to solve world hunger (sorry for that I'm a sucker for bad puns).

I did some slight editing but nothing real intense

I like these. Reminds me of the old Kodak 2475 Recording film. Used to use that at 3200 and 6400.

Good Stuff.

I just looked inside an Ilford Delta 3200 box at the dev. times listed in there, and they don't give D-76 1+1 times. Wonder why not? I use this film a lot developed in Tmax Developer and that combo gives a lot finer grain and more shadow detail, if you're looking for a less grainy result. I haven't tried Delta 3200 in D-76, but my experience with Tmax 3200 in D-76 was ugly...too grainy, poor tonality.

I think next time I'll try it with ID-68 (similar to microphen), I couldn't find times anywhere so that's why I posted. Possibly too grainy for my taste but I thought it might fit some stuff.

Anyways its a starting point for if someone wants to pursue the cause further, but maybe Ilford did post time because it was too grainy?

rate at 1000 and use ddx...you get beautiful negs.

I thunk DDX is the Developer that Ilford recommends for this film. It is similar to Kodak's Tmax Developer, if I remember correctly. DDX and Tmax Developer wee both designed for pushing these high speed t-grain films and will probably be the best developers for it.
