recently, i've been shooting:
* kodak t-max 400
* fujifilm neopan 100

i just purchased these:
* ilford delta 100
* ilford delta 400
* ilford fp4 125
* ilford hp5 400

i used to shoot neopan 100 exclusively because it's so cheap. but as i develop these other films, i'll comment on them. :)

I really liked the way the Ilford fp4 looked when I took photography, but T-Max 100 was still my standard.

i've been looking at getting some b&w 135 film that is iso 800 or higher. looking at b&h, freestylephoto, and adorama, there are only three b&w 135 print films with iso ≥ 800. they are the following:

* kodak t-max 3200 ($6)
* ilford delta 3200 ($6)
* fujifilm neopan 1600 ($4)

i bought three rolls of the fuji neopan 1600 yesterday.

i shot t-max 3200 once, a bit too grainy for me but great in low light. that said, don't try pushing it in the darkroom.

i've had good luck with fuji ss 100, fuji 1600, ilford fp4, and ilford hp5. the kodak t-max 400 came out with very little contrast. i'll wait until i print it to make a judgement. also, i need to print the fuji 1600 larger to see how grainy it gets.

i got some fomapan 400, which i'm shooting presently.

next, i'll try adox 50 and efke 100.
