Illford 3200 film

[lensface]

Most of the reviews about it online mention developing it rather quickly or it fogs up. My questions are:

I don't develop my own film, and the place I drop it off at doesn't usually develop until the day after I drop it off. Will I waste the film by not developing it right away? Is a day of being exposed but undeveloped too long for this film? I've got one of those developing bags with the cans and stuff, but I've been intimidated to start my own developing. If I can't rely on the developing time to be fast enough with my current place, this might make me start doing my own developing.

thanks in advance

I haven't tried any Delta 3200 yet but, have read that it does have a bit more base fog than most films and won't keep as long. So as long as you have fresh film you should be fine. Personally I think if you're going to shoot traditional B&W film, you should develop it yourself anyway so that you can get the most out of it Trust me, if you can follow a Toll House cookie recipe, you can develop film!!! What do you have for supplies already?

Hi Aaron, I actually read your thread about developing your own film a few weeks ago, so I'm glad you responded What I've got is a bunch of these canisters that you load up into this rather large bag that you stick your arms into. You're supposed to do it all by feel. I inherited the stuff not too long ago so I don't know anything about it. I'm going to ask who I got it from the details of it all. I've never developed my own film, so I don't know the technical names of what to call this stuff.

As far as the Delta 3200, everything I've heard or read says to not wait on developing, essentially. I only paid 3 bucks a roll for it in 120 format, so if I waste a roll or two its no big deal, but I want to take some shots that I can't potentially recreate very easily, so I would like them to come out And the other thing is the rolls are expired. Nov 07, so not too old, and I've been keeping them cold, but they're not fresh.

Maybe I'll just blow through a roll, drop it off, and see what happens until I figure out these chemicals and canisters

thanks again for the reply!
