[Calvin]

Following my last thread, I would like to have your opinion on your choice of ISO. What is your favourite selection for daily capture? Tks.

1. ISO 100
2. ISO 200
3. ISO 400
4. Others

400

Hello:


Iso 400 for "street photography" hand-held with a slower 50mm lens f2.8/3.5. Indoors/outdoors with a faster lens, f1.4/2, iso 400 again-HP5 most often.

Iso 400.

Trust me, you'r going to need the speed.

 

[Pherdinand]

400-ish. But delta3200 works well with medium format, too. Or e100sw, once in a while

 

[Trius]

With "good" light, I prefer 200. That is my normal rating for TX. 400 is a bit fast for controlling DOF, but others may find it preferable. I also might use 100 (e.g., APX) if I'm going for a different look.

400 for lower light situations.

All this assuming b&w film.

400. Just trying some Provia 400 for fun, but normally Delta pro. Sometimes FP4 if its a really bright day.

100 delta good light normal day to day film

400 delta OK light

800 (pushed HP5) poor light

3200 Delta bery bad light

Pushable ISO 400 film, like Tri-X

 

[wlewisiii]

100 whenever possible, 400+ when it's not.

320 B/w M8

 

[sejanus]

125 for 35mm, 400 for 6x6, whatever I can get away with for digital! 😀

 

[popstar]

ISO400 is my preferred speed for most street situations.

 

[NL2377]

400 & 800, though I tend to shoot in at night, and in poorly lit areas.

 

[Socke]

100 slide for colour in daylight, 100 and 400 in B&W.

 

[pesphoto]

For street shooting I use TriX at asa 1000. Fast shutter speed and small apertures!

 

[abumac]

Ilford XP2, 400 ASA

 

[kshapero]

I use 400 but I am thinking of going to 1600 and use an ND .6 filter during the day.

 

[JeffGreene]

400 generally, but 100 for good light at midday, 200 otherwise during the day.

 

[Steve Litt]

400 ISO (always B/W)for film but since the RD-1 ISO varies more so I may try XP2 or something similar if I use up whats in the freezer.

Regards
Steve
