low light Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 My normal B&W film is Delta 400, what films do you use for street shooting? I've tried Tri-X and it's quite good, any recommendations? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marek sramek Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Ilfordpan 400 or HP5 Plus in Xtol, ID-11 or LP-Supergrain.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank.schifano Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 For me the Ilford films are too pricey when I can get Kodak films in bulk for a lot less. Tri-X, along with Plus-X are my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeseb Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 FP4+, Tri-X, HP5 are mainstays for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ_butner___portland__or Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 For street shooting, Delta 400 used to be my favorite. A few years ago, I discovered Neopan 400, and it's all I use now. A fantastic film! Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remy_gautard Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Advice : find the right combo and stick with it ! For 10 years now I use Ilford HP5 film at 400 ISO. I always develop in D-76 13.5 mn at 20?C. It's a standart combo which works really good. I tried many other films and developers during these years, always got back to this one. In the low sensibilities I use pan F at 25 ISO. In the 100 ISO range, I can't give any advice because I never find a satisfied combo. Anyway, in order to concentrate on creativity and reach very stable results I don't like use more than 1 or 2 combos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_waller Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 It depends on the light. In bright light, Ilford Delta 100, usually rated at 50 ASA. In poorer light HP5, Tri-X or Neopan 400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith_kreeger Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 For more than 35 years it's been Tri-X in 35 and 120, developed in either HC-110(B) or ID-11(1:1) as the tried and true go-to film I can photograph practically anything with. As a second film, I used Verichrome Pan outside and FP4 under studio lighting, but since VP120 was discontinued I have tried to fill the void. So far, I like Fuji Acros 100 a great deal, but haven't photographed enough tough subjects with it enough to say it's the one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobmichaels Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Neopan 400. It's just what I've been shooting for the last several years and works fine. But offer me Tri-X or HP-5 for the next few years at 40% less and I'm sure I could learn to like them again. Shoot enough of any film in your desired speed range and I'm sure you would come to like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart_richardson Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I am really liking the results I am currently getting from Fuji Acros developed in Rodinal. I also love Delta 100, but since moving to Japan I have switched to Acros because it is about half the price. In some ways I am liking it better. For a higher speed film, I prefer Tri-X or HP5 to Delta 400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
