I do b/w pix (90%), and color slides (10%). Persons, landscapes (if no persons are avialable), even some still lifes. In b/w, I like the black parts really black, and the white parts very white and brillant. So, I got the best results from Ilford's FP4 (125 ASA, exposed at 200 ASA, developer: Rodinal - better for my intentions than Perceptol or Microphen), or Kodak's Tri-X (400 ASA exposed at 400 ASA, Rodinal). Enlargements on warm speed paper, grades: normal, hard, extra hard. In color, I want to see the pix immediately, no mask, no negative material, and no interpretation of the lab. Further I like the colors saturated, intensive and a little blue. So, I use Ektachrome 100s (the 100sw is too yellow and warm for me), 100 ASA, exposed at 125 ASA. Further, the 200 or 400 Ektachromes are too flat in their colors (for my visual perception), and the Kodakchromes are too neutral or too warm. Alf
