I've bought four rolls of Arista EDU 100 to see if I like it well enough to buy a 100' roll. It is much cheaper than Delta 100 that I really like. Here are a few shots from this week. The Fort Hancock pictures are quite grainy I think and give it a gritty look that I do like. Developer was D-76 1to1. Camera was Minolta X700. I'll list the settings with the photos.

I've shot a number of photos with Arista EDU 100 in small format (135).
My favorite 4x5 film is the Arista EDU 200 film. I shoot at box speed, developed in XTOL in JOBO per published times.

I generally shoot at box speed. I use D-76. I really should try other developers just to get the experience and see how they differ. Thanks for the input.

I use a lot of FOMA films rebadged as Arista EDU Ultra (Freestyle Photo). I usually shoot in 135 or in sheet film. The 200 doesn't like the film backs in my Mamiya RB 67, so I use either Ilford FP4+ or HP5+ in it.
I absolutely love in in sheet film (4x5).

I don't have much experience with view cameras. I do have an intrepid 4x5; but I don't use it much. I think that is something that is going to change this year. Thank you for your comments.

Great stuff Eric! Yes I can see why you like this film! I really like 4 officers homes and also 2 officers homes .. damn that light pole. And the unnamed lake pic. Really nice, all of them.
Thank you. I think I'm going to try a 100' roll. $65 and you get about 15 rolls of 24. Pretty good bargain.
