It has a finer grain than Delta 3200 and a feel to the prints I'd associate more with a traditional (i.e older) 400 film, like Tri-X. I'm told it has a similar response curve to Tri-X. Not as good to print as Tri-X, though, in my limited experience of it. I'd develop in Xtol, probably rating the film at a little less than 1600. I've had good results rating it at 1200, diluted 1:1, developing for around 7 minutes. >>I love D3200, finding that it gives me nice printable (scannable) negatives >that I was unable to obtain with TMZ.
