What do you like it?

 

[GeneW]

That's an eclectic mix 😀

But what's not to like ??

[Trius]

I suppose what's not to like is the likely demise of Agfa Photo 😡

As displeased as I am with my town's largest employer, I continue to love Kodachrome.

I like FujiFilm, but B&W. Acros 100, Neopan 400, Neopan 1600, all developed in XTOL. Yum! 🙂

FP4 125 along with that HP5 400. I use DD-X but have some ID-11 that I am thinking about mixing up later.

For B&W I really like Plus-X and Tri-X, and for color print I just found a new favorite, Kodak 100UC (Ultra Color). I have been doing a lot of experimenting w/ B&W, but I'm still looking for more. I'll have to follow this thread.

I have a few from the Kodak in my gallery here if you want to see how those look. I just edited to make them match my prints from the lab. No PS trickery.

For the kind of editorial / photo essay work that I do I love the gritty raw look of 35mm B&W. Digital is just too clean and sanatized for this kind of work. For my commercial shooting digital is the way.

Through the 80's and into the early 90's I liked the original Tri-x (hate the new, no guts) , pan F and agfa100. In the 60's I loved Tri-X and KB14 Adox. I used Rodinol modified with sodium sulfite with TX @ 1:100 and Rodinol 1:25 / 1:50 with KB14. Today it's Delta 100 & 400 with a few rolls of 1600 thrown in. I run it in Ilford HC 1:32. Neopan is excellent but not as available as Ilford. Excellent results and easily scanned.

dkapp, beautiful gallery you have.

I've pretty much standardized on Tri-X, Plus-X, Reala 100 and Superia 400. I've been on a real Plus-X and Reala kick of late. They just seem to suit the way I've been seeing of late.

T-Max, Supra, and Portra are mainly what I use (since they took my Kodachrome away). I also shoot a little Velvia, but we have had longstanding family ties to Kodak so shooting with the F-word has been somewhat blasphemous. Lately, with what Kodak has done with my favorite films I'm beginning to no longer care about loyalty.

I only shoot with B/W films. I like the films with classical grain: HP5 and TriX. I use now more the Hp5. In the past I use more TriX. Last months I use the Neopan 400 and the 1600, great films, but here in Spain difficult to find... I never use Delta films. The Tmax films only use a few in the past, but the grain dont like it ...

 

[FrankS]

Ilford FP4+ and HP5+ in Diafine for me. Haven't tried Neopan though.

 

[dominicLF]

Plus-X, mmmm.

 

[dominicLF]

Actually now I'm only shooting some sort of cheap Agfa 100 that I got as a bulk roll and then lost the package. I have some Tri-X somewhere, but only use it if I'm forced to. Then there are the two rolls of Macophot IR820c infrared that I have not attempted to use yet. I'm pretty excited about trying the Macophot. It's an IR film with no anti-halation coating, so it should be pretty wild.

Although Tri-X is still my standby, I have to agree with you that it has changed--and not necessarily for the better. It's softer--maybe they cut back on the silver content.

As displeased as I am with my town's largest employer, I continue to love Kodachrome.

I noticed that one in there too. I'm now in possession of 2 rolls of K64, with the French on the box just like this one. I haven't shot any Kodachrome in years, in fact I never remember shooting any K64 ever, but I do want to try it again before it goes bibi 4ever.

I'm gonna try it with the GIII and re-shoot some shots I like and know worked. I guess I'll send it to Dwayne's, since it's a lot closer than the labs in Europe. 🙂

 

[hjfischer]

Various color films, both slide and neg. When I think a particular shot would look better in B & W, I convert it in Photoshop. IMHO, this beats carrying around 2 cameras with both types of film or limiting oneself to monochrome only.

 

[SolaresLarrave]

To me, the yellow & red box speaks volumes. It's my very favorite film... even over Provia or Ektachrome 100...

Sorry, my B&W allegiance is to Scala.

 

[RayPA]

Right now I'm "down" with the X's: TriX, PlusX, and APX 100.

Plus-x, HP5, HP4, and E100VS in Chrome for me!
