Favorite, or most used? I use trix all the time. But my favorite film is Delta 100 (which isn't on the list.)

I'm so bad at color that I never use color film! (Well maybe Portra once in a while if I am made to!)

I didn't vote.
 
I've been shooting Tri-x and souping it in LC29, am loving it. However I just cleaned my local out of the last of their tri-x and LC29, so I may be resorting to using something different soon.
 
Most used and favorite is FP4+. Haven't decided yet on a 400 ISO B&W film.
For color print film, Fuji superia 400 xtra. Easily available and not expensive.
 
Ok, I voted after all. Trix. Of the films listed, it's my favorite. I am so comfortable with this film, I can shoot it with abandon in my unmetered cameras. And it just works.
 
To me it is rather strange that in a range finder forum, Fuji Velvia is more preferred than Fuji Astia. I knew that range finder cameras are better for street/photojurnalistic than for landscapes. Who use them both knows what I am talking about.
 
ooh, erm, in the poll: HP5 (at 200) and Fuji Pro800. But also in heavy rotation: Efke 25, 50, and 100. Delta3200... I've got a few rolls of HIE sitting in the freezer, and a few odds and ends lying about, mostly Plus-X and a few Tri-X.

Right now I'm saving up for some Kodak XX (Double X 5222)
 
Good thing you didn't put Pan F up there with HP5 and FP4. So I voted "others".

Why is this a good thing? Too many films I used to like are now extinct (e.g. Agfa Pan 25, Agfa RSX Prof. slide films, Kodachrome)... so I'm afarid anything I vote for will die soon... 😉
 
Another (other) vote for PANF 50 Plus. It's what I tend to use most and I have been really happy with it. Also I tend to use NeoPan 1600 lately. So it's either all or nothing in the grain department for me lately. 😀
 
Kodachrome. As I experiment with Velvia 50, it may become my main choice. It is much easier to scan compared to Kodachrome. I will start testing B&W film with my Hassy sometime this or next week.
 
Scala for black and white and Provia 400X for colour. Kodachrome is a bit of a love hate thing for me, it either works brilliantly or ruins a picture.
 
Well, may I suggest to add XX-5222. It is a very different feeling to order it from Kodak, cut it into 100 feet, load it and then take photos. Other than the feel (of touching the film), the result is quite pleasing.
