You may well be printing your own--but if not your image is almost certainly being converted to digital before it gets printed

Mostly Tri-X or Kodachrome, but since I don't use film anymore, my favorite are the few rolls of Fuji that reside in the freezer. Maybe one day............ or not! lol

Yep, Panatomic X pushed to 400 and souped in Diafine, that was my favorite combo. Talk about contrast... I miss it sometimes.
I still have prints on my wall from that combo. printed 40 years ago. I don't think my digital prints will last that long.

No heresy...there is a lot to be said about "the good ol' days'! Velvia 50.

for quite a while now, i have been somewhat hooked on a slow film by adox called cms20. it is a 20 iso film but i am finding it to give excellent results at 10. ok so my camera is pretty much attached to a tripod permanently. but i can live with that.

I shoot a lot of Fuji Velvia, some B&W, but not so much
(Fuji Pan 100). I do shoot a lot of digital too, but prefer film, as the image quality is so much better.

Agfa Pan 25 and KodaChrome 25 Both delivered incredible resolution that I have not yet found in the digital world.
I also like the other spectrum side with the Ilford 1000 especially when used with sepia paper.

I'll second that - can't beat Kodachrome slide film or Ilford paper.

Kodachrome 25 was fabulous, but I shot thousands of images on Kodachrome 64. Even Kodachrome 200 had a unique quality that could not be matched by any other film anywhere near that ISO. For negative color film, I loved shooting Ektar 25. Kodak claimed that they improved Ektar 100 enough to duplicate Ektar 25's quality but at greater speed. Not true.

Black & white for traditional silver prints: Fuji Neopan Acros (ISO 100) is GORGEOUS!
Black & white to be scanned: Ilford XP2 (ISO 400, C41/chromogenic)
Color transparency film: Fuji Velvia 50 and Provia 100 (it sucks that Kodak discontinued Ektachrome 100VS and E200... I used to use those a lot).
Color negative film: Kodak Portra 160 and 400. Fuji Superia 200 and 400.

Never shot B&W, but when I did, it came out too contrasty (Id use Tri-X).
But for color? Transparencies, no question. There is only Kodachrome 25.
For print film? Loved Kodak Vericolor 100. Also liked the blues and greens Id get from Fuji.
As a rule, since most of my shooting was outdoors, almost never shot anything faster than 100.

I havent come across anyone mentioning Vericolor since I was back in High School! In my opinion, the best color print film Kodak made. Vericolor 100. Shot it all the time back then.
