[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]My new Leica has turned me back on to photography. I generally shoot HP5+ and Delta 100 and develop in Microphen (I push a lot) and Ilfosol-S. But it's tom to do some serious testing of films/developers, and I was hoping y'all would give me your favorite combinations so I can put them on the list. What's the best B&W film for recording detail? Anyone particularly prefer T-MAX to Delta? With what developers? I was looking at HP-5+ negs last night, and while I like the images, I'd like something that captures more detail and shows less grain. I mean, I've got these wonderful lenses, right? <g> What's your favorite combo for push-processing? I generally use HP5+ in Microphen which gives "acceptable" results (comparable to TMZ in Accufine or Rodinal), but would live something with tighter grain. Suggestions? Thanks all.
