Hi, I quite like Ilford XP2 Super, its easy to shoot and fine grain and nice tones. Great for portraits, a few other list members like it for this. It prints quite well in a conventional dark room, usualy aroung grade 3 for me.
Kodak T400CN is quite nice also, super fine grain. But i cant get a good print out of it in a dark room, just always looks crap.
