I've got in film after I got in digital. I never shot Polaroid. I only shoot colour negative film, which print labs develop for me. I got a bag of Kodak Gold/Ultra, expired in 2005/2006, for less than $1 per film, which I overexpose at least two or three stops, and I never had burouts.

Some winks with some of my work
In Polaroid, i've a "special laboratory" including cameras and different films used (not update, let the time for the php gallery to load and stop the music if you want), at 2008 fall i spent one month in NY with only that sort of cameras and film with me, in my package 40 boxes of Fuji FP100C 4x5 (bought a misery on eBay) and FP300B for both my Polaroid 110B converted to 4x5 and my Konica Instant Press, here a sample of what i've done on my security stairs (where i was allowed to smoke!), two prints joined :

In 160 Tungsten Ah! Minolta X-700 + MD 35mm Æ’1.8 + Macro Ringflash, what i hope to do again now with my E-P1

But i've a great love with the Portra 800 (earlier called Ektacolor Pro Gold 1000) and in that stop movie you've have them (160T and Portra 800 and 400 CN mixed of the same shoot session : Tiffany

A long time ago, as a student, I used Ilford HP5 and Ilford Microphen developer. And every 2-3 years I buy 30 m of film and shoot ... and realize that I'm out of analog photography

This weekend I finished off the last of my Agfa APX 100, and the last of my Agfa Rodinal. Nice combination. My favourite, though, is definitely Kodak TMax 400 (TMY-2) in TMax developer. Iâ€™ve got a few rolls of Fuji Acros in 120 to shoot on next, which Iâ€™ll probably be doing in HC-110.

I'd say the Polariod SX-70 and the Polariod "peel apart" pictures were my most "memorable" films, but I wouldn't necessarily call them my favourite. (30 years later, watching something develop before your eyes is still magical).

fuji or agfa for colour
ilford or agfa for bw

anything except kodak (my mum's favourite film cos she likes red)

colour negative wise, the new ektar is fantastic, portra VC
Black white high speed :fuji neopan 400/1600, very fine grain even at high speed if well exposed
Slide: yet to shoot some haha

) got some velvia 50, sensia 400 and provia 400 (can be pushed couple stops)

M5-User · « **Reply #13 on:** February 19, 2011, 05:19:45 PM »

I have several I guess...

ISO 50
Ilford Pan F 50 (An extremely fine grain slow film) Classic Grain tech. I shoot it at 32 and soup as a 50.

ISO 100
#1 Fuji Neopan Acros 100 (Freestyle: Legacy Pro) 90% of the time
#2 Ilford Delta Pro 100 (when I want a modern grain)
#3 Kodak Plus-X... Not so much.... Acros is so much nicer and almost grain free

ISO 400
#1 Ilford Delta Pro 400 -- It has a modern grain tech. (I can shoot between 200-800 with great results)

I haven't tried Tri-X yet as an classic grain film, or TMAX 400 as a modern grain film.... But I will.

Polaroid Type 55 in 4x5. Loved the ease and fine grain with only a salt wash and ISO adjustment to 50

traveler_101 · « **Reply #15 on:** February 28, 2011, 11:00:40 AM »

Just started shooting film and I am using Tri-X (400ISO) because I don't know any better and it seemed to be what Rangefinder photographers shoot. I bought 20 rolls so I will be shooting with it for a while . . . . Will it be good for shooting in the amazing light of a Scandinavian summer?

Tri-X is one of most popular 400 films, It has the old school rendering, that many RF user's want.
I shoot Ilford Delta Pro 400, a nice fine grain fast film..

I like Kodak Tri-X the best of all the film I've tried. I've gotten great results shooting it everywhere from ISO 50 - 1600.

B&W only developed in Diafine almost exclusively but have a bottle of Rodinal on stand by...
ISO 400-1250 = TX400
ISO 100-200 = APX100 just loaded my last 100 ft. roll, now experimenting with Acros 100

I've also used Foma 100, Delta 100, PX125, Neopan 400/1600 and HP5+ in the past.

M5-User · « **Reply #19 on:** March 21, 2011, 01:24:57 PM »

I am going buy some Rodinal, and give a try.... It is as popular as D76 or Microdol-X when I was teenager.

Colour used to be Kodachrome 25 then 64, now I love the colour I have got off Kodak Portra 160nc. I tried Velvia once as I was given some rolls to test, I hated it too over saturated for my taste. I am not much of a mono shooter but I do like HP5 and FP4 and TriX in 120.
