Advertisement Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Hi phc, Take a look here What is your favorite B&W film and why?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
kenneth Posted November 10, 2008 Share #82 Posted November 10, 2008 I have returned to B&W after years of shooting Kodachrome in a variety of Japanese SLR's. Since returning to Leica rangefinder cameras I have exclusively used B&W. Ilford FP4 and HP5- Kodak BW400CN and Fuji Neopan 400CN. Had some difficulty with green toning on the Kodak film but after advise from Fuji Labs CC Imaging Ltd - Welcome I asked the processor to re-print and they are fine. Haven't gone all the way back to processing my own yet as I have not done that for 25 years, but, I just might invest as it is the only way to get real images. Who ever penned this thread has stimulated a very healthy discussion full of invaluable information- Thank you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes, I´m going back to developing film after a digital dark age. I only wish I had room for making prints as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phc Posted November 10, 2008 Share #84 Posted November 10, 2008 I'm still sticking with my holy trinity: Plus-X, Tri-X and TMZ. I don't dev myself but take them to a good lab where they give me back a CD instead of a contact sheet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenneth Posted November 10, 2008 Share #85 Posted November 10, 2008 Oh yes, I´m going back to developing film after a digital dark age. I only wish I had room for making prints as well. I know what you mean about space but our daughter has now grown up and flown the nest so that room might be a possibility. Certainly, B&W processing requires far less gear than colour, which I have never contemplated trying. For colour reversal I will stick to good old Kodachrome Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPerson Posted November 19, 2008 Share #86 Posted November 19, 2008 New type round corners of the bottles too and exactly the Rodinal dilutions now: 1+25, 1+50 etc. Efke single layers film are doing well in Para-Amino Phenol. R09 or Rodinal. Robert - so same dilution for R09 as Rodinal now and similar dev time? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotohuis Posted November 19, 2008 Share #87 Posted November 19, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Yes. new Fomadon R09, R09 "one shot" is Rodinal with the regular 1+25 - 1+50 dilutions. Well it's on the bottle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPerson Posted November 19, 2008 Share #88 Posted November 19, 2008 Thanks Robert. My new bottle still has the old label on it - 1:40 etc. That's why I was confused. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotohuis Posted November 19, 2008 Share #89 Posted November 19, 2008 I am sure old Fomadon R09, Calbe R09 and equivalent fill ups from other brands will be on the int. market for over a long period....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saleen219 Posted February 17, 2009 Share #90 Posted February 17, 2009 I have so far only shot one roll of Fuji Acros but I simply love it. I'm waiting for some nicer weather so I can shoot the other rolls that I have and when they are done, I'm ordering a lot more. I also printed in my new wet darkroom some 8x10's from my first roll of Acros - again: I'm inpressed - simply beautiful results. I developed the film in D76 for 13 minutes at 18C.
