Favourite B&W Films.
On 3/12/2009 2:18 AM Geoffrey S. Mendelson spake thus:
So far EFKE seems to be small enough that they can produce an order that Kodak will not even look at. I think that is the future of film. I agree; at least I hope that's the case. The giants will abandon film sooner or later (meaning consumer film like we're discussing here; they'll probably always make the speciality stuff used for various industrial processes). So it will be up to smaller companies to make it something of a boutique industry. Fine with me, so long as the film is still available. -- Made From Pears: Pretty good chance that the product is at least mostly pears. Made With Pears: Pretty good chance that pears will be detectable in the product. Contains Pears: One pear seed per multiple tons of product. (with apologies to Dorothy L. Sayers) |

My go-to favorite for 120 is HP5+ in PyroCat-MC. I rate at 200. The
negatives almost print themselves as the skin tones have a great gradation (almost 3-D effect), shadow detail is good while highlights don't blow out or need manipulation. Craig Schroeder craig nospam craigschroeder com |

Because Ilford's machine for finishing 220 film is in disrepair, and they don't believe that the 220 market justifies the necessary investment in getting it repaired. So I've been switching from Ilford films back to Kodak. I have no idea why Fuji won't offer at least one black and white film in 220. FWIW: B/W photolabs are an endangered species. I live between Houston and Beaumont, and to get simple B/W roll film done, even 35mm, it has to be sent out of state. Forget 120/220. And if you do 4x5, take out a home equity loan. And buy a calendar. I'm lucky. Im my town there is a photoshop that actually DOES 120/220 and digitizes also. 4x5, tho, is still a "send it to Beijing" thing.
