Interestingly I've found Delta 3200 to be a slower film than Neopan 1600.
The Delta tested out in Xtol 1:1 to be 1200. While the Neopan remained
as indicated on the box. 1600.

I use the Delta in 120 as 1200 is a stop and a half faster than 400 and
that's a real help on hand held shooting.
But I never buy it in 35mm it's pricey and Neopan is the opposite.
