chris_autio Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Has anyone had a good experience with Bergger or Arista or other films? My concern is of course quality. CatLab sheet films have little latitude. Have had high baseline and scrubby patches with old film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels - NHSN Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 If you’re asking about less expensive BW film (as in less than kodak/Ilford) then the only 120 I can recommend is Kentmere. It is consistent good quality a small notch below Ilford/Kodak. Isn’t Arista repackaged Foma? I use Foma in 35mm and 4x5 but their 120 film has QC issues in my experience and I wouldn’t use it for anything but testing. i have never tried Bergger.

chris_autio Posted November 27, 2023 Author Share Posted November 27, 2023 Thank you! Ordered rolls of Kentmere for 5.80/ rather than 9.80/roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_autio Posted December 26, 2023 Author Share Posted December 26, 2023 Kentmere, 60% of the cost of Kodak or Ilford works great. It is slightly thicker. 400 pushed to 1600/3200 gives a nice grainy feel (whose times are not listed but I went with 16 and 19 ID-11), and the base of curve definitely begins higher. Haven't shot it at normal 100 or 400 yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
