  Q. Film?

Asked by Chris Lauritzen    (K=14949) on 1/20/2003 
Ok, I know what my favorite film is when I am shooting MF but what?s yours? For those who need to know here is my list:

1. Illford FP4+ Medium format was made for B&W.
2. Illford HP5
3. Fuji Velvia ? For the color!
4. Fuji Provia
5. Fuji MS 100/1000 ? Because it?s cheap!
6. Fuji Reala ?When I must shoot print!

I prefer Ilford FP4, HP5, and Pan F. I like Kodak Tri-X. Oddly enought I love Tmax 100 in 35mm, but I dont care much for it in 120. I prefer these films in Hc-110 and Rodinal.

E100-VS - For landscapes/nature with little or no sky.
E100-S - For Everything else including sky.
Velvia rate 40 - Not very often anymore but special occasions.
Astia 100 - Nice reciprocity for star trails etc.
T-Max100 - I have loved this b&w film exclusively for nearly ten years, I don't shoot anything else in b&w.

Thats it... Soon I'll be trying E100 G/GX

Portra 160 nc and vc
Fuji reala 100

I really like Reala . The colors seem more natural than with portra .The grain seem finer to me .

I am strictly a fuji girl. I adore the provia and the saturated colors I can get. I know some think it is too cool a film, but I have always had good luck with the warmer tones in provia.

This is very interesting. Although a new photographer, I find myself shooting a lot of Agfa APX lately. I like the lower contrast and tonality of this film, and I only shoot B&W.

Agfapan 100 APX in Rodinal 1:50-Smooth grain and no blocked highlights.

Ilford SFX 200 for creamy skin tones and dramatic landscapes.

Tri-X Pan (not Pro) when I want grain and atmosphere.





 Yannic Meerbergen   (K=2990) - Comment Date 9/1/2003
Ilford FP4 and HP5, definitely. From time to time, T Max 400.. when I can't find Ilford film :-)





 Steve Henry   (K=124) - Comment Date 9/2/2003
Don't forget the venerable Verichrome Pan. It's available only in 120. It has a long straight line and forgives errors very nicely.

Tried a couple of rolls of the new Ektachrome E100 G which made me switch to Fuju and velvia.





 David Goldfarb   (K=7611) - Comment Date 9/2/2003
Verichrome Pan, once the default film for all kinds of odd formats from 110 to Cirkut, was discontinued about a year ago, though there may be a few odd rolls floating around.





 Chip Sampsel   (K=45) - Comment Date 9/9/2003
Interesting question, I'm sure this could spark some debates!

My choices are (I shoot 6X7 most of the time):

1. Fuji Velvia for landscapes early in the day. I do not have enough experience with the new Velvia 100F YET.

2. Kodak 100 VS or 100 GX for landscapes later in the day.

3. Fuji NPC or NPS for color portrait work.

4. Ilford Pan F for B&W portrait work.

5. Ilford SFX and HP5 for B&W landscapes.

6. When I can find it the old Tri-X for that old time look.

All B&W films developed in PMK.

I'd be interested in hearing opinions on the new Velvia 100F and Berger 200 B&W roll film.

Take care all,
Chip

i use for b/w Maco Films, because this material is very good for scans.
for colour (landscapes i use velvia)





 Sean Armenta   (K=242) - Comment Date 9/13/2003
BW - Fuji ACROS 100 -- i really love the creamy quality of this film, extremely fine grained.
Color Neg - Fuji NPC 160
Color Slide - Fuji Astia 100, Velvia 100, or Provia 100

Don't really have a favorite but

NPH and PORTRA VC for people
TXP for bw portraits





 Richard Milner   (K=1653) - Comment Date 9/17/2003
At the moment I am shooting Portra 160 and 400, NC, VC and UC, to test them against each other. Once I've used up my stock I will try some mono film, probably Tri-X.





 Chad Naujoks   (K=1242) - Comment Date 10/9/2003
B&W -- XP2 (C-41 and easier to get developed around here, don't shoot that often to matter in B&W)

Color Slide -- Velvia 100F for Saturation
Astia 100F for People Shots

Color Print -- NPS, or NPC 160

All E100SW all the time.

Guess I'll have to change since Kodak discontinued it.
