PROFESSIONAL FILM FOR SUPERB PRINT QUALITY

ILFORD DELTA 3200 Professional is a high speed, black and white professional film for making quality

photographs in difficult exposing conditions. It is ideal for action and available light photography. It is

designed to be exposed at EI 3200/36 and given extended development.

Recommended developers are ILFORD ILFOTEC DD-X, ILFORD MICROPHEN and ILFORD ID-11.

DELTA 3200 Professional 35mm film is coated on 0.125mm/5-mil acetate base and is available in 36

exposure cassettes. DELTA 3200 Professional 35mm film is supplied in DX coded cassettes, suitable for all

35mm cameras.

DELTA 3200 Professional roll film is also coated on 0.125mm/5-mil clear acetate base. It is available in 120

lengths and is edge numbered 1 to 19.

EXPOSURE RATING

The recommended meter setting for DELTA 3200 Professional is EI 3200/36, but good image quality can also

be obtained at meter settings from EI 400/27 to EI 6400/39. It can be used in all types of lighting.

DELTA 3200 Professional is particularly recommended for exposing in the range EI 1600/33 to EI 6400/39.

It can be exposed at ratings up to EI 25000/45, but it is important to make test exposures first to ensure the

results will be suitable for the intended purpose.

DELTA 3200 Professional has an ISO speed rating of 1000/31° (1000ASA, 31 DIN) to daylight.

The ISO speed was measured using ILFORD ID-11 developer at 20°C/68°F with intermittent agitation in a

spiral tank.

It should be noted that exposure index (EI) range recommended for DELTA 3200 Professional is based on a

practical evaluation of film speed and is not based on foot speed, as is the ISO standard.

DELTA 3200 PROFESSIONAL Technical Information PROCESSING Processing at Different Temperatures DELTA 3200 Professional film can be processed over a range of temperatures. Approximate development times at temperatures other than 20°C/68°F may be calculated from the charts below. For example, if 12 minutes at 20°C/68°F is recommended, the time at 22°C/71½°F will be 10 mins and the time at 18°C/64½°F -15 mins.

DELTA 3200 PROFESSIONAL Technical Information Rinse For a final rinse use ILFORD ILFOTOL wetting agent added to water, it helps the film to dry rapidly and evenly. Start by using 5ml per litre of rinse water (1+200), however the amount of ILFOTOL used may need some adjustment depending on the local water quality and drying method. Too little or too much wetting agent can lead to uneven drying. Remove excess rinse solution from the film before drying.
