Amen!
We're past due for a new poll, aren't' we? So what's your favorite
film, and why?
Hmmm... I think my favourite colour film right now is the new Kodak
Elite Colour 400UC that I started using a little while back, but I've
only shot about three rolls of it... I rather like it's colour
rendering, and it seems to have quite fine grain for ISO400 - which is
what I mostly use because it seems to be too dark for slower films in
most of the situations I'm taking pictures. I'm not sure if this is
really a new film, by-the-way; it seems to be a replacement for Royal
Supra or something, and I wouldn't know if anything except the name was
actually updated.
For B&W, I'd probably go for the FP4 or HP5... No wait, make that an
APX100 with expiry date in 2001. Someone gave 8 or 9 of these to me
(i.e. a pack of 10 where only 1 or 2 was used) a while back. I've shot
and developed 5 rolls so far, and I'm not able to find any obvious
differences from films that are not out of date...
