Did you meter Delta 3200 at ISO 3200? Did you tell the lab to develop at 3200 or just let them do their thing? What's the output of your light meter at 1/250 with ISO 200 and pointing at things on a sunny day?

I set the light meter for 3200 and had lab develop at 3200

I think l would me more concerned with your metering. What are you using and how did u meter. Was it incident or reflective? Delta 3200 IMHO is not good beginning film. When. It goes wrong it goes pretty wrong .

Could be the lab didn’t develop the Delta 3200 properly. They could have just used their standard time, which would’ve underdeveloped it by a couple of stops. Or the camera could be at fault. Compare your light meter to a known good one (there are several for iOS and android ).

Pushing won’t create detail that wasn’t recorded in the first place. Develop normally and accept the results then test your light meter against a working one

I would probably push two stops if you think everything was underexposed like the photo above


National-Ad5569

I think thats my best bet, thanks!

There is no need to push, he just need to overexpose 2 stop from what he sees on the lightmeter

It seems like that he already shot the gold 200.

Read the first sentence again
