Plexi, thank you for the pictures. The J&C 100 film does have great tonality and I may be placing an order with J&C sooner than I had planned.

Kodak Gold 100, Fuji Superia 200, 400 & 800 for colour.
Roll my own FP4+ & HP5 for B&W. FP4 goes into Rodinal, HP5 goes into HC110 or Microphen.
Neopan 1600 in Microphen for low-light and a DReb for everything else 🙂.

Right now, with four cameras -
Fuji Press 800 and Delta 3,200 rated 1,600 - indoor holiday shots over the next two days. XP2 in the new R3.
Believe it or not, but I actually took a roll (cartridge?) of 110 today - I found a fun Canon 110 ED for a dollar this past weekend. It is a scale-focusing rangefinder of sorts and it's got a nifty f2.0 lens - works as if it were brand new.

I'm tempted by extremes....
B&W: Gigabitfilm (ISO 40, love it!!) or Delta 3200
Color: Velvia 100
At the present time the ratio of usage is: 60% Gigabitfilm, 20% Delta, 20% Velvia.

Could you post some images shot with the Agfa Copex, uh I mean Gigabitfilm? 🙂
I have yet too see a nice piture from this film, and I`m curiuos how you cope with it.

Fuji Superia 400, Fuji NPZ 800 and Ilford XP-2 are my main films. I also have a few rolls of Fuji Superia 1600, Agfa Ultra 100, Kodak 400TCN and Agfa RSXII (for crossprocessing) in the fridge.

Sensia 100, superia 400 and press 800 for color, HP5 for B&W.
I orderd 10 rolls Tri-X for my vacation but they arived late so I just finished the first roll.
I used to use some XP2 and T400CN but T400CN is gone and the labs don't develop without prints anymore, so I switched to traditional B&W and DIY development in summer.

Mainly shoot 35mm Tri-X at ISO250.....use this the most because I love the look and I buy it in 100 foot rolls and bulk load.
Also bulkload Provia 100, shoot it anywhere from ISO80 to ISO400) as I am addicted to it but can't always afford it, well not at the $21.50 a roll it costs here in OZ! (Thats $16.55 US a roll without processing!)
I also love AGFA APX 100 in 120 for my Rolleiflex, again along with Provia 100, got to love those big 6x6 chromes!

I´m beggining to develope my own film. By the moment I´ve tried T-Max 400 and Tri-x 400.
They aren´t grainy enough or they aren´t grainy the way I would like. Small grain less tones. Now I´m gonna try some Ilford HP5+ and an Agfa APX400.
I develope with D-76 at full strength.

Matu,
try pushing your tri-x a couple of stops and develop it in xtol 1+3 or rodinal 1:50. That'll give you grain and sharpness. The newer tri-x has a little tighter grain structure than the older tri-x. HP5 is a good film too. Or even Neopan 1600. Merry X-mas.

Currently Tri-X in D76 (1:1). I really like the look. Next experiments (I am a beginner in developing my films) will be push processing the Tri-X in Adox ATM 49 and tests with Neopan 400 and Neopan 1600 in D76 and Adox ATM 49.

TriX and Neopan 400 are very nice in ATM49 (which is just the new marketing name for Calbe A49), particularly for portraits!
Tell me if you need dev. times!

This has been an interesting thread! So much diversity amongst us, and it highlights how many choices still exist in film and developers.

I've been using alot of different films of late. Right now I have rolls of Illford XP2, Kodaks newer BW400CN, & Fuji Superia X-Tra 400 for color. I haven't used the Kodak before and the Fuji is definately my favorite for color negative right now.
I am hoping for a nice pile of Tri-X in my gifts though 😀

Thx for your offer. Being back from vacation with a few exposed rolls of Neopan 400 and Tri-X I would really appreciate some practical hints for souping them in ATM 49.

What speeds did you use with the films?
I get good results with:
Neopan 400 @ 400 ASA - 14 min.
@ 800 ASA - 18 min.
(new) TriX @ 800 ASA - 16 min.
(have not used it at 400, but guess it would need about 11 min.)
(always with 1+1 dilution, 20°C, 1 min. constant inversion, and 3 inversions at the beginning of every min. afterwards; I use a color-head enlarger with very soft light, and can usually print with about 20 to 40 M dialled in - which would be grade 2.5 to 3, I guess)

I used them at the nominally speed. Since I do not have the place and time for a complete darkroom I only develop my films and scan the ones I like best.
