Default Favourite B&W Films.

"Keith Tapscott." wrote

What is your favourite B&W Camera film for general use and what is it
that you like about it?


Depends on the format:

35mm TechPan/Technidol Gives a MF/LF format look while having 35mm
system flexibility in lenses, finders,
viewpoints...
TMX/Microdol-X Very low grain, unfortunately no LF look

120&4x5 TMX/D-76 Low grain, D-76 gives a bit more detail
in the shadows than M-X

8x10: TMY/D-76 Extra grain not much of a concern
extra speed is nice
