FP4+ (ISO 125, United Kingdom) +.Pp +definitely my favourite b&w film. +I love the fine grain and contrast +with good shadow detail. +really just exactly what I want +out of a b&w film I think. +ISO

+I've only shot one roll of this so far, +but I really like the balance it strikes +between fine grain and high speed. +it just seems like a good go-to film +for what I like to do with b&w photography, +given the extra flexibility over FP4. +.Pp +sample: +.Lk https://photo.causal.agency/2024-09-14/ +. +.It +Ferrania P30 (ISO 80, Italy) +.Pp +another that I've only shot one roll of, +but I really like the results. +obviously it swings in the other direction +in terms of film sensitivity, +but more importantly +it has a distinctive look. +that's harder in b&w than it is in colour! +.Pp +sample: +.Lk https://photo.causal.agency/2024-10-05/ +. +.It +Ilford Delta 100 (United Kingdom) +.Pp +as far as I'm concerned this is just more expensive FP4. +it certainly looks good +but I'd rather

be expected of high speed. +my real problem with it +is the lack of contrast. +maybe I should only be shooting it pushed, +but I don't want to pay the extra fee +to have my local photo lab do that. +.Pp +sample: +.Lk https://photo.causal.agency/2024-09-07/ +. +.It +Fomapan Action (ISO 400, Czech Republic) +.Pp +I almost wonder if something went wrong +either in shooting or processing +the one

desaturated colours +and the grain on this. +I guess I like fine grain in b&w +and coarse grain in colour. +I think this is well suited +to the subjects I like to photograph, +like old brick buildings, +but it also does nature quite nicely. +I think this will be a good one to capture fall with. +.Pp +ok so this is almost certainly repackaged +Wolfen Color NC500 +(made in germany). +but the thing is, +shanghai does a better job packaging it. +they use real metal cassettes +and add film edge markings. +and their box design is way nicer. +and on top of THAT, +my local photo lab +sells it for cheaper than NC500. +.Pp +sample: +.Lk https://photo.causal.agency/2024-09-22/ +. +.It +Harman Phoenix (ISO 200, United Kingdom) +.Pp +phoenix is a fun film! +the lack of yellow filter +and anti-halation layer +can produce some neat effects. +in the right conditions +it also sometimes looks exceedingly normal. +but it also sometimes just... +doesn't work well. +underexposed areas can get really bad. +apparently it can be better to shoot it at ISO 100. +I should give that a try, +or just be more diligent with +how I'm metering. +.Pp +sample: +.Lk https://photo.causal.agency/2024-08-10/ +. +.It +CineStill 800T (USA?) +.Pp +I can't really say much about this yet. +I don't have much experience with indoor photography. +the lack of anti-halation layer +does tend to make lights look sinister as hell, though. +I'll probably shoot +one of the cheaper repackagings +of ISO 800 cinema film +in the future. +.Pp +sample: +.Lk https://photo.causal.agency/2024-10-06/ +. +.It +Film Washi +.Dq X +(ISO 100, France) +.Pp +this is mostly pretty normal film +without a yellow filter. +not much to say about it. +I'd be more interested to try washi's +other repackaged b&w technical films,

good. +fine grain, accurate colour. +it looks like digital to me, +and that's not what I want. +even fuji has a little more character to it than this. +puts me off kodak. +.Pp +sample: +.Lk
