RichieC Posted April 9, 2007 Share #5 Posted April 9, 2007 For fine grain - Kodak Tmax400 or Ilford Delta 400. But I do like TriX and Ilford HP5+ too. Each film has a slightly different signature in the prints. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

meatboy Posted April 9, 2007 Share #9 Posted April 9, 2007 I stick with the mainstream stuff Tri-X and HP4 but I also like T-Max. Tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_x2004 Posted April 9, 2007 Share #10 Posted April 9, 2007 Wouldnt Adelaide be a bit glarey and contrasty for trix? How do you find it? I dont like it on the coast here at Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hofrench Posted April 9, 2007 Share #13 Posted April 9, 2007 Ilford Delta for 135-sized cameras, HP5 for 120 film. XP2 is also great if you want low grain. For convenience on the road or in a pinch, Kodak BW400 shot at 200 asa is lovely. No special development instructions apply. Just expose at 200 and drop it off at your color lab. Great look.

Simon Larbalestier Posted April 9, 2007 Share #14 Posted April 9, 2007 Tri X @400 or @320 in 35mm and 120 and i i can't get hold of this then Delta 400. Processed in PMK Pyro. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photoskeptic Posted April 9, 2007 Share #15 Posted April 9, 2007 I'm on my last roll of Tri-X. Using XP-2 from now on. Needs a bit more exposure than Tri-X, though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolo Posted April 9, 2007 Share #16 Posted April 9, 2007 I prefer to use slow films to capture more detail and have a long history of using Agfa 25 and PanF. However, when I want more speed Kodal Tri X is my favourite for effect, with 400CN getting used more often now for its convenience. Develop most films in ID11 or Rodinal.

plexi Posted April 9, 2007 Share #17 Posted April 9, 2007 Tri-X and Neopan 400. If I want more detail I move up to a larger format camera... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
@bumac Posted April 9, 2007 Share #18 Posted April 9, 2007 Ilford XP2Plus, from 50 to 800 Asa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted April 9, 2007 Share #19 Posted April 9, 2007 As many others here I also prefer Tri-X when it comes to 400 ISO. Nice greyscale, peronally I find T-Max too hard, and easy to work with in the dark-room. Carl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatboy Posted April 10, 2007 Share #20 Posted April 10, 2007 Wouldnt Adelaide be a bit glarey and contrasty for trix? How do you find it? I dont like it on the coast here at Newcastle. Rob, thanks for the comment, you are, I feel 101% right, Adelaide light is very harsh and glarey. I've noticed this a lot but a little filtration either either before or after the pic is taken can improve it I feel. No much else you can do but capture the light as it comes and apply filters.
