Subject: Ilford 3200?

I haven't been able to do any shooting or mounting for a few weeks - lots of construction at our place and deadlines at work (I haven't forgotten you Sam!) but this evening I found some time to try something I've been wanting to try for a while - shoot some 3200 film with my Sputnik. Someone gave me a couple of rolls of ILFORD DELTA 3200 and I thought I could take some Sputnik shots indoors without a flash. So I loaded the film....and wound....and wound.....and wound....and I couldn't see any numbers through the film window! I just went into the darkroom and wound the film back onto the original spool and put the film back in the freezer!

Am I missing something here, or does Ilford 3200 not have any indicating numbers on its paper backing?

Yes, it has indicating numbers just like all 120 film. It is pretty grainy stuff...in a stereo view I find that pretty distracting. You might get less grain if you push the new Kodak TMax 400. Good luck either way!
