My 2 bits:
For print of Landscape and Wildlife, I prefer Fuji Reala to most.
(Actually when I shoot wildlife or landscapes it's mostly on slide,
and that's Velvia or Provia-F). Sports action usually requires
something faster, NHG-II 800 is my personal fave here - also
pushes well up to 3200 if necessary.
For B&W landscapes I stick to Ilford Pan-F 50 or FP4+ 125,
If I need faster I use Kodak T400CN for everything from 400 to
1600. Anything faster and I get out the Ilford Delta 3200, but I
find that when I send it to a lab I usually hate the results, but
they are quite acceptable when I process the negs myself.
Cheers!
Brian
