It was way too expensive And not even iso 1600. It was more like 800. I was not going to pay through the nose for an extra stop. For every roll of twelve I shot I'd rather just go from the 400 films. They did make tri x or HP5 or delta 400 in 400. Or Neopan 400. And to me tab grain 400 films were high rez films. I also for a thing like that liked 220. 120 on a tripod sure and I'd use iso 100 films. -- Mark R. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/winterdays/ > From: Robert Meier <robertmeier at usjet.net> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2012 09:18:27 -0500 (CDT) > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] S2 vs. 645D sensor > > Ilford has been making Delta 3200 film in 120 format for many years. > Excellent stuff. > > > On Mar 16, 2012, at 8:22 AM, Mark Rabiner wrote: > >> I shot a lot of medium format film. >> I shot events with a Hasselblad for the most part. >> Not Nikon or Leica. >> I shot a lot of 220 Kodak tri x pro which was iso 320 and was tri x only >> in >> name.
