Hi, im just want to know what your favourite b/w films are.

One of my favourite is the Ilford Delta 100.

 

FP4- HP5- Kodak BCW400 CN- Fuji Neopan 400 CN- Kodak Tri-X400 and the list goes. I guess virtually all film stock is good now. Maybe you should start a thread listing the films people have tried and don't like

FP4, Tri-X, Neopan 1600. All developed in Xtol. I haven't shot a roll of film since I got my M8, but these were my standard films when I was using my film Ms. Other films that I've tried and liked are Fuji Acros, Agfapan 100, HP5.

 

I still have about 10 rolls of Agfapan 25 in the freezer. They're past their use before date, but they've lived in the freezer since I bought them so should be ok. My intention is to use at least some of them this summer.

The best films ever made are the ones I use :-))) (Just kidding.):

 

1. TRIX + XTOL 1+1 : outdoor allround film for 135 and 120. (Leica M6 + cron 35 asph, Hasselblad 501 CM)

2. ACROS rated at 80 ASA + Spur HRX 1+29 for 135 Studio (Leica R8 + cron 90 apo)

3. FP4+ Rodinal Studional 1 + 15: 120 + studio.(Hasselblad 501 CM)

 

 

These films work fine for me.I developp the films myself; idem for the prints.

I am new to film so I started off with Tri-X and D76.

 

I now much prefer Delta 400 in Xtol. The Delta film seems better constructed than Tri-X. It loads onto developing reels easier, gets less scratches, dries with less curling, and scans easier. Works best for me at least.

if you have any tri-x left try it with kodak hc-110 . rate the film at 200 iso develop at 68 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 min . i like this combination you negatives will really pop .

I started with the Delta 400 + ID11 1+1. However, I switched to TRI-X + XTOL 1+1 and I'm very happy with it, much more tolerant than the Delta. He is also very good for pushing/pulling. Very easy to scan in 120 and 135 format.

 

Just my experience.
