kenneth Posted February 8, 2009 Share #4 Posted February 8, 2009 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.

mindlessdocumentation Posted February 9, 2009 Share #6 Posted February 9, 2009 Ilford Delta 100 and 400 (depending on the season). Very consistent results. I've heard good things about Neopan (from reputable people) but haven't looked into it yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stunsworth Posted February 9, 2009 Share #10 Posted February 9, 2009 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shootist Posted February 9, 2009 Share #11 Posted February 9, 2009 I mainly use HP5+ because it seems to scan better then Tri-X. I just bought some of the new T-Max 400 and will be giving it a try Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyt Posted February 9, 2009 Share #12 Posted February 9, 2009 Tri-X FP4 Neopan 1600 In that order, processed in either T-Max RS or Rodinal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
batmobile Posted February 10, 2009 Share #13 Posted February 10, 2009 *Delta 3200 *Neopan 400 *TriX *Delta 100 Fp4+ Hp5+ in DDX can look quite interesting. Works very nicely pulled in harsh light *my regulars at present. Films I don't like: Tmax100 Acros 100 is only just bearable Tmax400 (old) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgoetzin Posted February 13, 2009 Share #14 Posted February 13, 2009 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.

scotteci Posted February 13, 2009 Share #17 Posted February 13, 2009 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.

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 .

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. 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. Serge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
