delta3200 with rodinal: ok but takes a little bit longer than 11 minutes

hi all.

yesterday evening i developed 2 of my delta3200's with rodinal.
i used rodinal 1+25, 20°c. then i fixed for 8 minutes with ornano
rapid fixer and the usual 6/7 minutes in agepon, agfa's wetting agent.

i must say the negatives show a good contrast and a reasonable tone,
but i think that overdeveloping at least 1 minute may give better
results, because the film seems a little bit dark to me. i'll
"sacrify" a film for a deeper test.

a friend of mine insists that with rodinal you can deeply modify
contrast and grain of the film and says that going to 19 --or even a
bit less-- degrees and increasing development time by 30% would give
far better results as grain and contrast --with fast films--. perhaps
next time i'll give this a try.

chances are also that this wednesday evening i'll develop delta3200's
@12500 with t-max developer --the ones we've been talking about some
weeks ago--. i'll let you know the results on friday.

i hope i'll start printing soon --i still miss a red safe filter for
enlarger lenses: my enlargers were used for color prints and have no
safelight filter at the moment--.

regards,
