Heya fellow film users!

Currently I am shooting the last of my Scala 200 slidefilm and recently have been doing a lot of work using Fuji Superia 400 35mm and Velvia 50/100 films.

What are your favorite films you are all shooting with!

Tri-x 400, Velvia, Kodak elite chrome.

Amazon lists Kodachrome64 for sale for $14 a roll. My favorite of all time, but where would you get it processed? I thought Duane's quit processing it.

You dont. You can cross process it with horrible results. I wouldnt do it, it will ruin whatever labs E6 chem they accidentally dunk it in.

Its dead.

If anything this will discourage folks to use film ever again!!!

$14.00 for a roll that was prices less than $5.00 a decade ago?

Damn.

Ilford FP-4, Delta 100 and 400, depending on availability of FRESH film. I see a lot of outdated Delta for sale in discount bins. I'm getting an interchangeable back on my TLR and am anxious to try Delta in 120.

Illford across the board. B&W. Calumet Photo in Philadelphiia always has fresh stock. I buy about 20 of 120m rolls a month. Delta 100,400 and 3200. I develop my own film and scan to computer. Philadelphia photographic services does a great job 15.00 for B&W and scan to disc. They actually care.
It's great getting back to basics with photography. I have not used my Canon 5dm3 in 2 months except for business jobs. For fun and the magic it's the antique Hassy.

Currently I am using T-Max 100 and 400 and Portra 160 and 400 for 35mm and 120. I have used others (such as Tri-X) in the past and will use others in the future. For 4x5 I use T-Max 400.

And I use digital cameras in many situations where they have an advantage over film.

Glad to see that there still a few dinosaurs like me out there. I shoot mostly digital with my Canon 50D and 70-200 2.8L but still play in the darkroom developing Fuji Sensia and Provia shot with my Mamiya 645 Pro TL. Chems are getting harder to get and I'm down to my last Kodak E6 single use kits. Plenty of BW stuff out there though.

Anyone know of any E6 single use kits available - anywhere? I've seen some LARGE quantities but don't do enough to justify buying gallons of the individual components.

Ilford FP-4, Ilford Delta 400 for black and white formats 35mm to 4x5.

For colour, Fuji mostly Velvia. However, the digital camera has reduced my reliance on colour film.

I just don't see the point 'why' you can go digital and buy a eight gig. sandisk 30mb per sec. for same price and take hundereds of pic. put them on
a cd . erase your sandisk and do again and again and again . I can go through disk any time I want . see a pic that I would like on the wall, print it out. using film is like staying with VHR or Bata tapes . reel to reel tape recorders ,
rear projection tv. or driving model T at 25 mph on the free way . and the real
ball buster is that film cost way way more than digital , in every way

the transitions in film are better and I think the dynamic range is better too.

But I sell more film prints than I do digital prints and that's a pretty good reason.
