I thought this was more of a disclaimer--along the lines of "this film isn't
really 3200 but . . ." Having said that I've only ever used it at 3200 (in
the dark) and have been very happy w/ the results, especially the tonal
range. I've been meaning to try it at 1000, but I don't really see the point
(At this speed I'd probably rather push HP5+ a stop and a 1/3 or so). Has
anyone (Richard?) shot Delta 3200 at 1000?
