Bob Bedwell has had similar results. My development time is 7 or 7 1/2 minutes in XTOL stock at 20C/68F. When processed and exposed in this way, I get wonderful negatives with nice, not too pronounced grain and good tonality. Quite amazing for a film of this speed. Shooting it at 3200 means pushing and the usual consequences of that. As far as I recall, Erwin Puts arrived at an optimal speed of 1000 for this film.
