Delivery

I always love getting a box full of goodies delivered to my door. My order from Freestyle Photo arrived today. I highly recommend them, they specialize in film photography supplies, have good prices, and always include a nice little thank you card with every order.

I was running low on developer, so I ordered some Kodak Polymax T and Ilford Microphen. Thus far I've only used Ilford DD-X, so I'm curious to try out both new developers and see how things turn out.

I also ordered some more film, trying to keep a backstock just in case. I'm trying to test out a lot of different films with the hope of finding some favorites. Of course with so many variables (film type, ISO, developer, developing time, and just different photos) it's difficult to be systematic about things. Thus far I think I'm leaning towards Ilford film. I haven't been too impressed with Kodak TMax, but at least it is easy to find. Having said that, I wish I would have read this sooner, I would have bought a few extra rolls of Ilford for the freezer.

This time around I got some Kodak PlusX 125 in 35mm and Arista Ultra and Fomapan in 120, none of which I've tried before. I also go a roll of TMax 3200 which was on sale because of a short expiration date. I've never shot on anything above ISO 800 before, so I'm interested to see how it will turn out. I think I'm going to test it out on my next trip to Vegas for work and get some night time shots.

So what's your favorite film to shoot on?
