I'm not going to argue with with your other comments, but my opinion on
these points differs. I've recently developed a preference for TMax3200
over Delta 3200, which was previously my ultrafast film of choice. I
find that I get better contrast out of my negatives without losing
tonality. The Tmax seems to have a fainter base tint which could
account for that. I also find that Tmax gives less noticeable grain.
Both developed in ID-11 (process as for D76 with Tmax).
I still favour Delta 400 for 400, 800 & 1600 speeds. I haven't tried
"pulling" Tmax 3200, but when I tried it with Delta 3200 I found that
the granularity was not noticeably reduced, whereas puhsing the 400 a
couple of stops didn't increase the granularity to the level of the
3200. Again, all developing done in ID-11 (1+1 for 400 ASA).
