Ok im goin to be buying 2 100 foot roles of film; a faster and a slower film. i was thinkin a 100 and a 400 speed. so for the 100ish speed film i was thinkin eather plus-x or 100 speed t-max. for the 400 speed film i want somthing that can be push processed.i have been using tri-x for a while and its ok. what do u think would be a good stuff to get? also all has to be black and white film.

sure it does. 100ft roles of film for a 35mm camera is considered film that would be used in a bulk loader. so i just called it bulk film.

i dont think they make TMax anymore... but yeah, i've used tri-x for a long time and it's really good. you can push up to 3200 from 400 if you use the microtol developer (HC110, what we used, doesnt go that far). hope this helps a bit.

yeah i have been using tri-x for a while as well. i think they are still making it but it may have a diffrent name on it, i kno they now call tri-x like tx400 or somthing. i think kodak may have changed the names of all the films, but i think it is still chemicall very cloce to the origional film.

You'd save a lot of time and money to just get a digital. Fuji S5100 is comin out in october..has a reasonable range of manual features, huge zoom, 4mp etc for a cheap price. Just hard to justify expensive film and developing when few of the pics actually turn out decent..

^in most cases, it's not about time and money when it comes to film.

PS- go with Ilford HP5, it's great for push processing

i like film more. you can get a much better product with film. you have to spend a lot of $$$$$ to get a digital body worth using. and i like film more. has a better look to it, especaly with positive film and black and white. in that way i think it kicks digitals ass.

you can still buy tmax, i just did...so maybe they discontinued,but you can still get it. i would swing towards AGFA though, the APX 100 and 400. super super good film. beautiful results.

I use Fuji Velvia 50iso.
It's greaaaattttttt.
The choice of almost every professional landscape photographer.
It's too slow for sports though unless it's a bright sunny day.

i hear that the velvia 50 is suposta be very saturated......VERY saturated. wich is awsome. on some days i could get away with 50iso film. most of the time not though. and i have a dark room and dont like paying for E-6 processing so still need black and white.

Velvia gives a weird skin tone.
But great colors.
I use ilford black and white because I got it for free.
It's good stuff.
