I have found Fuji to never lie about their film speeds. I think they got Kodak also doing the same finally. Kodak Tmax P3200 I've found to be 1600 and as the P stands for push I think that means push one stop so they would not lying. You just have to be psychic. Delta 3200 unexpectly from my experience is a tall tale not even weighting in at 1600 with the developers I've used. I tend not to use the developers which jack your film speed up a bit like Acufine and the Tmax developer. I think they give stinky tonality and are not worth the jack up. Lots of people get Tmax P3200 at 3200 with full shadow speed with that developer. I donšt think its worth it. I get 1200 with the Delta 3200 but I bet with that developer or Acufine I'd get at least 1600 if not more. 3200 though I'd not hope for. How great to be able to shoot medium format hand held at those speeds!
