Film and Filter combinations

[egpj]

I have been doing some experimenting with different films and filters. Although I do not have a big collection of filters I have tried the following:

In the Leica IIf with 50 Summicron coll.

I've tried FP4/HP5 with B+W yellow 023 and red 090

My favorite is the FP4 with the yellow 023

On the M bodies I've tried 50 Summilux, 28 Summicron and 35 Summilux.

I have the yellow 022 but have not liked it as much as the 023 on the old Summicron coll. So I have purchased the 023 for E46 and E43 threads. Still working on a roll of Pan F to see what it looks like with the 023 on the newer lenses.

When ever I shoot I usually do not bother doing any exposure correction for the filter. Especially for the 023. It just does not seem to need it. For the red 090 I do tend to do a exposure correction of 1.5 to 2 stops. But if I want really dark skies and vegetation then shoot as she meters BABY!

So what is your favorite filter film combo and what would you recommend for exposure compensation?

I'm working up to a roll of real B&W film with a few of my lenses. I was planning to let the M5 handle exposure like always.

I have an 060 and 040 that I hope to get good results from. I would like to add a light red, I forget the B+W number. 090 or 091 maybe?

Where did you buy B+W B&W filters in 43mm & 46mm? I was hoping to get MRC filters. So far, the only one I have found was the 060 in 46mm from our favorite moderator back alley joe.

I tend to shoot FP4 and PanF with the 021 or 022 filter- 021(#3 light yellow for you wratten numberers) the most. I like the 023 for HP5, and really like what the 023 does on my Contax G 21mm lens.
