Mine have so far been Fujicolor Press 400, Fujichrome 100 cross processed to C-41, and Fuji Pro 400H when shooting my Super Ikonta. I don't think i would want to take my Zeiss cameras into an abandonment, but my Argus would do just fine.

I'm a big fan of Ektar 100 or Portra 400 for UE, generally using my Leica M4-P with either a Zeiss 35/2 or CV 15/4.5.

Haven't tried the Fuji C-41 films though, but have heard pretty nice things about 400H.

I've shot Ektar 100 almost exclusively for the past year but recently got into the Kodak Portra 400. The Ektar is great but I find myself shooting in lower light conditions outdoors and it's not cutting it anymore. Now I usually carry a few rolls of both.

The Fuji films tend to have a cooler (cyan) base compared to the Kodak. It all depends on what your preference is and what you plan on shooting.

Good, old, forgotten thread

I shoot slow films...the slower-the better.

If we are talking about color ones, it depends...for shooting people on location or in studio, I shoot Portra 160. For urbex and nature stuff - Ektar.

I don't understand color Fuji films. They are too strange for me. Everytime different colors, maybe my local lab fooling me with old chemistry, bad temperatures, etc...

For Abandoned buildings I have two.

Send it out to thedarkroom.com they're good!

For me, "New" Kodak Portra 160 for color and Ilford FP4 125 for B&W.

IMHO, the differences between color negative films for scanning is somewhat subtle- the look you get in the final product is largely (but not entirely) dependent on the scanning & post workflow. This is coming from having scanned about a half-dozen different C-41 emulsions, others may have different input on that. There's a much bigger difference between emulsions with B&W and slide films. Finding a B&W film and dev process that you like can take awhile.


Fuji GW690 - Portra 160

Yes!

So far this is what I've found.

400TX in HC-110 Dil. B
100TMX @ 100 in TMax Dev 1:4
100TMX @ 32 in Xtol 1:1
320TXP @ 250 in PMK Pyro
HP5+ @ 400 in PMK Pyro
Acros 100 in Xtol 1:1
Acros 100 @ 50 in PMK PYro

For color I usually use Fuji pro 400, and for B&W, I use Illford 400. I have not found a better B&W film than Illford.

Was nuts about Fuji FP-3000B for awhile but lately I've been digging Impossible's Gen-2 black/white. I have alot of scans yet to do...

Impossible has really come into its own! The film they're producing is fantastic, I still remember those first faltering steps...

As for me, found a new developer, Pyrocat-HD!

Tri-X @ 200


HP5+ @ 200


And a new Film...Adox CHS 100II (good in Xtol 1:1)

I really like the contrast and grain on Ilford PAN 400. I have two rolls waiting to be scanned

Portra 400! Or, Ektar 100 these days...
