[pure-silver] Re: Film advice, please [update]

I went the Delta3200 @ 1600, and processed the film last night (D76 1 +0 (stock) for 9.5 min @ 20C). I've managed to scan some, and I know it's not much of an indication, but with a little shadow and highlight or curves adjustments I'm getting pretty good tones and detail - somewhere in the blizzard of grain. Some of the results are beautiful.
If I find a frame that isn't too personal, I'll post it online. But I wouldn't say the film is under exposed. I let the EOS metering system do its thing, and once I made it bracket three shots by one stop. The +1 shot looks like it has more contrast and perhaps detail - that's the 800ISO shot then. It got images for me at apertures quite near wide open - so I did need that kind of speed.
I'd play with this film again for sure, it has a lot of potential (for me). Only problem is that it's expensive. 

Thanks for your help.

Well, I haven't used either film but as a sort of generic answer the ISO-400 film will be right at its limit at 1600 while the 3200 film has an ISO speed of around 800 to 1000.
This is my experience also with Delta 3200. If I try to shoot it at any ISO higher than about 800, the negatives are underexposed.
