what film does every one use for 35mm

[smallfooties]

I enjoy using ilford 3200 at iso 800....

[selaw]

I'm pretty new to film (and photography for that matter) but I mainly use the cheaper stuff like Fuji Superia 200 or Reala 100 when I can get them (unfortunately now being discontinued I think?) Also Fujichrome Sensia E6 which I really liked.

I picked up some Velvia 100 last week for half price as it was a few months past it's use by date, I've shot a roll and I'm really looking forward to seeing the results when I pick them up tomorrow

Hi Steve, nice to see some people still really keen on film. I have a couple of old 35mm cameras but never learnt anything about photography until I bought a DSLR. How did your Velvia 100 pic turn out?

Cheers

Most of my film shooting is black and white, and generally speaking I use either Kodak Plus-X 125iso or Kodak Tri-X 400iso depending on the situation. As far as the equivalent Ilford films go, I like FP4+ just as much as Plus-X, but Plus-X is cheaper. HP5+ is good but to me Tri-X just has that little something extra that appeals to me more.

Currently, using HP5.

Hello, what I used to use was Agfa 25asa/iso until it wasn't available anymore then Agfa 40asa/iso with Rodinal at a dilution of 1:100 to give me super sharp negatives and excellent tonal gradation. I found that the combination of Agfa film and Agfa developer gave the best results. The Ilford 50asa/iso just didn't cut the mustard for sharpness whilst Kodak 50asa/iso gave very good tones but it also wasn't sharp enough (for me anyway). For impact with reportage style photography tri-x 400asa/iso developed in Kodak D76 was great for impact!

The slow films were brilliant for portraits, as there were times when we were enlarging to 20x16 (inches). I spent around 30 years with photography and tried almost every combination at the time but, always came back to the Agfa combination. The secret (if there is one) is in using Rodinal at the highest dilution ratio. I have even tried 1:300 ratios, but the best overall with regards to time etc. was 1:100 ratio. I personally wouldn't use Rodinal with any film faster than 100asa/iso it was only meant for slow speed films. Regards Tony.

ilford hp5 400

i usually don't shoot chrome anymore, i much prefer the pastel colours i get from fuji 400h rated at about asa200. b&w can be pan f, tri-x, delta, hp5, fp4, or neopan varieties.

[clipper79]

I have tried countless, and I have found the small handful which I usually trust and use.
Fuji Neopan 400 and 1600
Fuji Superia 400 and 1600
I'm a nocturnal beast. Most of the day time I hide in the office.

For my day shoot and trips.
Ilford HP5
Fuji Provia

I like using BW400CN for black and white but have only just finished my first roll of true B&W, HP5+. Otherwise mainly just the supermarket stuff. I've never shot E6 before and would love to try.

I've heard good things about Velvia 50, maybe that'll be next. Now I just need to learn how to develop...

[mitgonk]

i too have been using BW400CN film lately, just find it easier to develop locally

superia 200 for my 35mm and still testing the 120mm

Fujicolor 100 can be had fresh for $3/roll, so can X-TRA 400 (both in 10 packs off ebay).

Fujicolor 100 is as sharp and fine as any of the 100 films (the 160 Fuji's are slightly finer than the 100's), 200 is as sharp and fine as the 400 and 800 speeds respectively.
