Finnkare Posted January 2, 2009 Share #21 Posted January 2, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I didn't have a very active shooting year. I'm not professional, and I also have a bit of a troublesome creative period or something... Searching for "the language" or something. Here's an approximated list. I put also my preference info in brackets . B&W (all self-developed using Perceptol, Rodinal or X-TOL): 5 x APX 100 (like) 1 x T-MAX 100 @ 400 (don't like) 1 x Neopan 400 (like) 5 x APX 400 (like) 3 x very old T-MAX 3200 @ various speeds (don't like) 3 x Delta 3200 (don't like) Color: 5 x Velvia 50 (don't like) 1 x some very old duplicate film, I think it was Kodak (didn't like) 1 x Fujichrome 64T (don't like) 1 x very old Kodachrome 64 (love) 5 x Kodak EPP100 (like) 5 x Kodak E100SW (like) 1 x Kodak E100VS (like) 2 x Fuji Provia 100F (don't like) 1 x Fuji Sensia 100 (don't like) 2 x Fuji Reala 100 (like) 2 x Kodak Portra 160 NC (like) 2 x Kodak Portra 160 VC (like) 1 x Fuji Pro 160S (don't like) 3 x Kodak Elitechrome ED200 (don't like) 3 x very old Fuji Provia 400, one of which @200 and crossed (like) 1 x Fuji Provia 400F (don't like) 1 x Fuji Provia 400X (don't like) 1 x Kodak E200 (like) 1 x Kodak Portra 400NC (like) 1 x Kodak Portra 400VC (like) 1 x Fuji 400H (don't like) 2 x Kodak Portra 800 (like) 1 x Fuji Superia X-Tra 800 (don't like) 1 x Fuji Superia 1600 (don't like) 90% of all are 35mm, the rest 120 shot with Rolleiflex. Around 50% of the 35mm are shot with M5, the rest with Retina IIc (already sold, unfortunately) and Petri Color 35. As you can see, I have shot more colour this year than b&w. That's mainly for two reasons: 1) I had my own and my friends weddings to which I needed to test some colour negs first, 2) the photography school near me always demands also color photos in the application. Maybe a third reason could be that I want to support my local professional color developing lab which is struggling for clients. Although b&w is much cheaper. I have also shot a lot of different films. It's mainly because of the testing for weddings, but also because I have always bought whenever I have got something cheap, even expired. Film, especially colour film, is generally quite expensive up here. All the slide films in the list had expired, some even over 15 years ago, but that's fine for me, at least considering the price. My personal preference seems to be hevily biased on "old fashioned" b&w and Kodak's colours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penzes Posted January 2, 2009 Share #22 Posted January 2, 2009 I shoot something about 100 rolls of B/W and less than 10 rolls of Dia. Mainly Fuji Neopan 400 / Acros 100 HP5 and Provia 100. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocker Posted January 2, 2009 Share #23 Posted January 2, 2009 157 rolls of HP5 shot on an M2 and 27,000 frames on a P45 with a combination of either a Hasselblad CW503 or a Sinar P2 with a sliding back. And I have to say that using the Leica hand held and processing in an old Patterson drum was by far the most enjoyable experience Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stnami Posted January 3, 2009 Share #24 Posted January 3, 2009 Dunno but I have 7 rolls sitting waiting to be processed, a heap of scanning and a pile of darkroom stuff to do Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandefotografo Posted February 1, 2009 Share #25 Posted February 1, 2009 Very simple: 40 Kodak Tri-x 08 Agfa APX-100 10 Kodak CN-400 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Luis D Posted February 2, 2009 Share #26 Posted February 2, 2009 It is also simple here. 2008=0 film shot. This is because in 2007 I shot perhaps 30 films and did not like how looked the scans compared to files from my M8. In 2006 I shot many hundreds of films because I did not have yet an M8, and I did not like how they looked the scans, compared to files from my 5D. I have one friend who has an Imacon scanner and he is very serious about film, so I asked to make scans for me (I have only Minolta 5400), and was still not liking them as good as digital. Sorry.

ndjambrose Posted February 2, 2009 Share #27 Posted February 2, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) A lot of you guys keep far better records than I do. Had to look at some past invoices, based on which I think around: 410 rolls b/w (mix of TMY, FP4, Pan50) 70 rolls 400NPH 30 rolls 800Z Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vieri Posted February 28, 2009 Author Share #28 Posted February 28, 2009 Thank you everyone for sharing your statistics It has been fun to see how much film people burned - now, let's go for an even film-ier 2009! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philippe D. Posted February 28, 2009 Share #29 Posted February 28, 2009 It was "just for fun", so let's have real fun: 2008 i used ONE roll of Ilford XP2 Super 400, just to try it. And thanks, it's enough. I used my two M8 every day, with joy and happiness. (Rightnow a Fuji Sensia is in the M6, one shot already for this year) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
