1. Velvia 50. Love those saturated colours! 2. Plus-X. Fine grain and medium speed.
3. Provia 400F. Low reciprocity failure and a lack of colour shift during long exposures makes it good for astronomy.
4. Provia 100F. For those times when Velvia is just too slow, though I will be switching to Velvia 100 when my current stock needs replenishing.
5. Kodachrome 64. Just because. At 8:14 PM -0500 11/24/05, Scott Loveless wrote:
I suppose I should answer my own question. Of the five rolls of FP4 I have shot, I really like it a lot. I bought the stuff in 120 roll, shot the first roll at 125, and have ratcheted my way down to 64. All of it developed in Ilfosol S 1:9. I like it best somewhere around 64 or 80. For faster films I prefer Tri-X. B&H had some HP5 10-packs with a rebate a while back, so I bought 20 rolls. I've been playing with different speeds and developers (D76, Ilfosol S, and HC-110) and find that I consistently like the results I get with Tri-X a bit better than the HP5, regardless of developer.
