P30T with Ilford Delta 3200

[john van besien]

I know that the P30T supposedly will allow DX coded films with an ISO

of 25-1600, but I forgot the upper limit and shot a roll of Ilford

Delta 3200 last week. Would the camera have set an ISO of 1600, or

would it have defaulted to 100 (if it couldn't recognize the DX code)?

 

Any suggestions?

... if you slip the 3200 film canister back in the camera and check the settings in Program mode, you might be able to work it out. Easier perhaps with a second lightmeter, but also trying an ISO 100 film canister would confirm a comparison for you.

I have scoured the newsgroups and have only found one or two references to this--both suggested the camera would expose at 1600--but neither was definitive. The first reference was that someone had posted pictures on their site that they indicated they had taken with the P30T and 3200-speed film. The second was someone mentioning their "old camera" rating 100/200 films the same, 400/800 films the same, and 1600/3200 films the same. Earlier in that reference they had mentioned previously using a P30T.

 

So, I am tempted to simply take the film to the lab and tell them it was exposed at 1600. Thanks for that suggestion, though--that may help.
