I have had very mediocre/disappointing results with Ilford Delta 3200 Professional B/W Film. Does anyone recommend a developer and iso. I exposed at 800asa and used Rodinal 1:50 at 20C/68F.

This is the only hi speed B/W available in 120 format, and it(35mm version)is packaged attractively, two rolls and 25 sheets of Multigrade RC Cooltone (Pearl Only) for 13 US dollars. The Cooltone paper is great by the way.

I am inclined to try Ilfords recommended Ilfotec DD-X, but it looks expensive, is there a cheaper and tried alternative?

Thanks for any advice,

Bill,

Have you tried www.photo.net? Doing a search on "Ilford Delta 3200" or "Ilford Delta 3200 processing" came up with a lot of threads with various options.
