My favorite film is the one that's right for the subject at hand.
For color in the studio or bright light outdoors it's Fuji Astia 100. I would have included Agfa RSX 100, but it won't be available after the end of this year. These two produce the most neutral and accurate colors of all chrome films.
For black and white in the studio or outdoors in bright light it's Ilford Delta 100. Exceptionally good tonal range and very forgiving of exposure and development variations. For available light indoors or outdoors when it is really dim, it's Ilford Delta 3200. Remarkably good film for something that fast.
These days most of my shooting is digital, but I still pick up my Leica M3, Hexar RF or Bessa T now and then and run some film through it. At my current rate of use I expect to use up all of the film in my freezer in about ten years!
BTW, anybody here still shooting 4 X 5 film? I have a bunch of it in my freezer and really ought to free up the space for some food.
