Film Choice for Street Photography

[Calvin]

For daily use w/ your CV, which do you choose from?

1. Colour Film
2. B&W Film

 

[Nachkebia]

2 - Ilford Delta 100 for daylight, Ilford HP5 for night time, Kodak tri-x for traditional everything....
1 - Any slide film, fuji provia and kodak 100 VS recomended.....

 

[Avotius]

1. Fuji Provia, Fuji superia 400
2. Ilford Delta 100, Ilford XP2

 

[wlewisiii]

Depends on what I'm looking to do, but I like:
1) Fuji Reala for color
2) Fomapan/Arista.Edu Ultra for B&W.

I used to use Kodak B&W, but I really don't trust that company any more and since I don't care for the look of Ilford film, Foma has become my preference.

1) provia or astia, prefer astia though
2) tri-x, HP4 or FP4

next year though I'm going to branch out and try other films again

Delta 100, 400, HP5 pushed to 800 in Acufine and Adox KB25.

Color transparencies fuji astia (neutral), kodak E100 VS (saturated) and GX warm also Provia is great.

Color neg ? never shoot neg hardly.

 

[swoop]

I mix it up between trix, delta and HP5 400 ISO's pushed to 800.

 

[popstar]

Color film - Kodak 400UC almost exclusively, though one occasion I'll use one of the other Porta films
B&W - Ilford HP5+ - 80%, FP4+ - 15%, Kodak BW400CN when I need C41 processing (not usually street)

3) Tri-X

😀
but I'm really not lying, tri-x is amazing for day-to-day shooting where lighting isn't controllable.

Tri-X is flat? You must be kidding. The shadows are clean as baby's tear yet strong as moonshine 🙂
