35mm: Tri-X Provia 400 120: HP5+ Fuji NPS-160
I actually haven't really experimented around with film to find the one that I really, really like yet. Tri-X and HC-110 at 1+100 worked for me, so I used that almost exclusively for awhile, until my M645 came along and discovered that there was no TX available from local shops in 120 format. One thing I love about film photography is the fact that there are so many different types of film, each with its unique colour palette and footprint. Maybe the next thing I'll try is Kodachrome in 120. Want to see those MF transparencies that everyone else has been raving about. :) On 11/26/05, Ann Sanfedele <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Tom Reese wrote: > > > > Scott Loveless asked: > > > > > We're past due for a new poll, aren't' we?
