The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

XP2 and Kodachrome (sniff).

 

I am sad to see Kodachrome go.

[JBA]

Kodachrome, Velvia 50, BW400CN, and PanF, in that order.

[mmk60]

Portra 160NC and XP2 (@EI200~400).

[Walt Calahan]

Whatever is right for the image.

 

But I'm a softy for Tri-X.

Some people call XP2 not real B&W film.

But i also LOVE that film, especially in MF. For best results expose it as Iso 200- 320.

Even wonder if starting homedeveloping B&W film again is worth the invonvenience.

 

For the very few colorpictures i take: portra 400 nc.

Fuji Astia 100F, Kodak E100G.

I do indeed love Portra 160NC for color, and TMAX400 for bw.

[Finnkare]

I have bought masses of other kinds too, of which I have a bunch left, but these are what I'd only like to keep available:

 

PanF (slow b&w), Neopan 400 (medium speed b&w (haven't tried tri-x, though)), Neopan 1600 (fast b&w)

E100G (slow slide (since Kodachrome is no more)), E200 (fast slide (pushed))

(on the rare occasions that I use color negative: Reala 100 (slow neg), Portra 400 VC (med neg), Portra 800 (fast neg))

 

Of those, I prefer to shoot mostly PanF and E100G.

[Morten Grathe]

I haven't shot film for years, and started again this winter. So far I am very fond of Kodak Plus-X and TRI-X 400. When going on vacation I plan on trying the Kodak E100G.

[andybarton]

Tri-X and Astia.

 

I hardly ever use colour negative film any more as I find it extremely difficult to scan (and get processed properly)

[MPerson]

Haven't shot a roll of colour film since the late 60's. So B&W favourites:

 

Tri-X - rated 100-1600, usually on the same roll.

Plus-X - rated 125-400.

APX 100 - box speed.

Fomapan 100 - rated 160

Adox CHS ART 25 & 50 - box speed

 

Developers- Rodinal, Diafine, HC110, FX-39, Panthermic 777.

So what about the Ilford Deltas?

Delta 100 is clearly the best film on the market in 135 format.

Goes really well with the modern Leicalenses.

That is if one likes sharpness and a bit of contrast.

TriX for me.

 

and a bunch of 120 Fuji Super HR 100 from to early 90s I found in my uncles fridge (behind the beer)

[mongrelnomad]

Fuji Pro 160S (I prefer its colours to Portra 160NC).

Ilford Delta 100 (so smooth and sharp!)

Fuji Pro 800Z (may it rest in peace) - a wonderful film that looks awesome pushed...
