I've actually started using T400 CN for all my photos. I'm just not set =
up
for good process control on developing and the T400 is handled by a
competent local lab that does dip and dunk C-41 for $3.00. At its true
speed of 200 ISO it produces grain as fine as TMax100 to my eye. The
tonality is better than what I was able to get with the 25 ISO films. =
T400
can also be used at 800 with loss of shadow detail but respectable grain
and no change in development time (due to it's chromogenic image).

A caveat to this discussion is that there is, of course, no one best =
film
in each category. The characteristics of the films coupled with their
development and the paper used to print them (among the most obvious
variables) will combine to produce a wide range of results.

The suggestions we have are reasonable starting points, but trial and
frustration are the only way to find exactly what you're looking for.

Good luck,

Charlie

I have heard good things about T400CN. But I want something I can =
develop myself. How difficult it is to develop C-41 by yourself? Anyone =
tried it?

Thanks.

Natasha
