The Matrix meter in you CL should have taken care of it.  ;-)

Actually, you should over expose by one to two stops (set your meter ASA to
800, 600 or 400), then develop your Delta 3200 for 20-25% less time than
you did when using ASA 1600. This will aim you toward the correct
combination. You'll have to fine tune it yourself.
