fredus Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 Hi there ! I'm going on a trip and need to plan what film I'm going to take ... I do a lot of street photography, portrait and very few landscape ... These are my choices so far: Color: Fuji Reala 100 - Fuji NPS 160 B&W: Ilford HP5+, Kodak Tri-X 400 I don't need more than 400 I believe but I might take a few roll of Fuji Press 800. I'm still looking for a good color film rated at 400 ISO ... What would you recommend ?? Is there any 100 ISO films I might be interested in for my trip ? Thanks for your help !

steve_dunn2 Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 <p>What films do you usually use? If you're happy with them, why not stick with them? If you're not, then knowing what films they are and what you don't like about them might help in coming up with alternative suggestions.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredus Posted June 16, 2003 Author Share Posted June 16, 2003 I use the one I mention above ... But I don't usually use 400 ISO color film ... Hence the question :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briany Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 Personally, I love Provia 100F (ISO 100 slide film). If I were looking for a 400 print, this thread, <a href=http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=005JJl&unified_p=1> http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=005JJl&unified_p=1</a>, has piqued my interest in the new Kodak High Definition 400. I would shoot a test role though, just to see if you like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaghi Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 Fuji NPH 400; AGFA optima II 400. Nice colors, medium contrast, good saturation films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert goldstein Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 There ought to be a permanent answer tagged to every question submitted about color print film: Superia Reala 100--the finest print film overall! Portra 400UC or NPH 400 for medium speed. NPZ 800 rated @EI640 for faster speed. It would save everyone a lot of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
