so, when you'r shooting analogue, which films do you prefer to use?

for chrome film i use the provia and the velvia, only these two because here in brazil we don't have kodak's chore films...

for negative films i use the provalue 200, fuji pro H and the fujicolor reala...

for black and white i lke the kodak tri-x pan, neopan SS, kodak t-max, and the neopan across...

what about you guys?


cheers!

Industry Is Virtue says:

I love AGFA, but its a little pricey, so it only comes around a few times a year for me, otherwise its Fuji Press 800, or just any other random fuji I can get a deal on. If I'm really ambitious, and don't mind to splurge, I also love the Kodak 160-NC both 35mm and medium format

I use Tri-X, Ilford XP2, & Fuji Neopan 400CN for b&w as well as Efke 820C & Ilford SFX for b&w infrared. For colour Fuji Pro 160 & Kodak Portra 160NC. For colour slide I use Fuji Provia 100. All in 35mm format.

I develop Tri-X, Efke 820C and SFX in D76.

I actually shoot any film I can get my hands on. I buy old expired film in various online auction sites. Some of my best medium format shots were taken with Kodak Vericolor 160, from a box of film expired in 1992 that is still half-full in my freezer...Yes, I bought the whole inventory, 40 or 50 rolls.

I shoot chromogenic B&W because I am too lazy to be bothered with the development... and a $1.50/roll (which is what the shop charges me) who needs D-76?

HP5 for lensed photos, Delta 100 for pinholery. I've just got a few rolls of FP4 and Pan-F to try to widen my scope a little. All developed in HC-110 but that's because I've never bothered trying anything else. I'll have to change that.
The only time I shoot colour is when using my Horizon so I use what's on offer.

I used to work in a photostore and I got so lucky that everybody went/goes digital, I bought pretty much all the film that got outdated, which were about all the films. Great way to try out all the nice medium format films. I really like the different characteristics of each film but I tend to go to the more neutral films (Fuji Pro 400H/Kodak Portra NC's for neg and Ektachrome 100G). I recently started to use Fujifilm Astia and Provia 400F, man thosetwo are great, great films. Even though they are pretty regular, I recommend them to anyone.

Anything I can find and is affordable (new film: mostly consumer grade color negative from Fuji, Kodak. BW: Fomapan, Ilford, and I recently started with Polypan F). I shoot also any kind of expired 35mm format I can grab.

Tara Holland says:

Used to LOVE Fuji Sensia 400 and 100. Sadly, they stopped making it. Provia is the professional version of Sensia, I think, and they do still make that :-)

I also use...

Rollei Digibase 200 speed slide film
Kodak Tri--x 400 speed film
Ilford Delta 3200, which I am in love with
Anything Agfa I can get my hands on
Kodak Ektachrome. Haven't used it in a while, but I'm about to get some.
Various fuji films (including the cheap drug store negative films they make
Lomography film (often times, it's Agfa)
I shot a couple rolls of Portra, which was very nice, so I will be trying it again.

noisy join [deleted] says:

I use all sorts of films to get certain results
Velvia 100 it has this picture post card kind of color effect. in the sun .

or Delta400 Black and white to get grain in old fasioned type street photos

or 200 to 400 iso color fims expired a few years ago to get even softer images with a bit grain and softer toned down colors

or fujiPress 800 to make street portrets with nice grain in the out of focus back grounds
like so
