My Films

There are very nice and good black & white films out there! 

ISO 50 & 100

Brand	Name	ISO	Grain	Notes
Fuji	Neopan Acros	100	Very Fine	This is a film that works very well when it comes to large exposures. It deals very good with reciprocity. Up to 120 seconds no adjustment is needed. Between 120 and 1000 seconds add 1/2 stop.
Ilford	Pan F	50	Extremely Fine	If grain is your concern, this is the film!
Ilford	Delta-100	100	Fine	I use it as a general purpose film. It is one of the sharpest and has a wide exposure range.
Ilford	FP-4	125	Very Fine	This is the one to pull or force. It can be pulled 2 stops down and forced until 6 stops up. All in all, a very versatile film
Kodak	T-Max 100	100	Extremely Fine	If grain is your main point, then this is your film. Of course, there is always a tradeoff: it has a narrow exposure range

ISO 400

Brand	Name	ISO	Grain	Notes
Ilford	Delta 400	400	Fine	Felxible film for different purposes
Ilford	HP-5	400	Fine	For low light. It can be pushed to 3200
Kodak	TX	400	Fine	Classical, contrasty, chalky and old fashion. Very nice. Can be pushed till 6400
Kodak	T-Max	400	Fine	If you shoot 120, grain is very fine. It can be pushed 2 stops

Very High Sensitivity

Brand	Name	ISO	Grain	Notes
Ilford	Delta- 3200	1200	Grainy	Specifically designed to be pulled till 3200. Good for low light indoors

Long Exposures. Reciprocity failure

For long exposures don't forget to make adjustments for Reciprocity

FUJI ACHROS 100 (May be the strongest B&W film in terms of reciprocity). Look a this tech data
