<p>I have been more seriously shooting for around a year now. I started with digital, but fell in love with film. I started shooting with HP5 with D-76, but mixing the chemicals kept resulting in tiny tiny white specs on my film (I know it was my lack of mixing skills)- I gave Xtol a try and liked that, but mixing was still not my favorite. I then switched to Ilfosol 3- but I am half and half on the results. <br>
I have been reading a ton and am sort of stuck between going back to D-76, or trying out HC-110<br>
I have been shooting with a mix between T-MAX 400, Tri-X 400, and HP5+ 400- but am deciding which of the three to stop stocking<br>
I have shot concerts, fashion shows, portraits, and landscape and would like any insight on any developer/film combos someone would recommend for sharp with contrast. (concerts I have switched to shooting digital because of such low light conditions)<br>
I do not make prints yet- I've been scanning my own (eventually plan on enlarging) <br>
Any insight on any of this would be greatly appreciated<br>
Best,<br>
Tom</p>
