Dear Friends,

I want to experiment with Ilford Delta 3200 film in 35mm size with the view to simulating the grainy effects seen in some bromoil works. Any suggestions as to how the grain could be increased?

Dearest Uncle, Try processing with Ilford PQ Universal or Multigrade, 1:9 dilution at room temperature ( in trays or dishes) for about 90set to 2 minutes. Multigrade is a bit more active than PQ so times are somewhat shorter. For 35mm and lacking 4 ft long arms, open tanks filled with chemistry and hang the reels on a wire to dunk them in and out of the soup.

Iffen that does not work, make a screen negative by photographing ground black pepper on white paper and sandwich with the other negative.
