    Now I Need some sunlight

    Sunlight and some decent subject(s) to photograph are now what I need. We'll see how this stuff works. I've never shot this flavor of Ilford before. This is Harman Technology branded new stuff and is waaaaay fresh film.

    Wish me luck.

    Ohhh, Good luck. I am jealous. I hope you have a fast lens.

    You will definitely have to let me know how you like it. Pan F is on my list of films I really want to try. Been told it can be finicky though. What are you going to be using for developer?

    Greg, who needs a fast lens? All you need is a good tripod and cable release

    Re: Now I Need some sunlight

    This is definitely a tripod film. I've had a roll of this stuff in my fridge for a few months now...been meaning to try it. Supposedly has finer grain than Tmax, although I'll have to see it to believe it. I probably won't have a chance to shoot it for a while, so you'll have to post some examples for us.

    Re: Now I Need some sunlight

    I've got fast lenses and big tripods. I have shot 50 ISO film handheld in 35mm cameras many times. In fact I've shot 25 ISO film (kodachrome) handheld. We'll see what the subject is and shoot accordingly.

    I've got Super Prodol, Microphen, and D-76 'in stock'. Microdol X of the non Ilford products I imagine may be the 'best'. Microphen looks like it will work too fast for my taste and I haven't twisted the numbers yet to see how SP may work. It's looking like D-76 1+1 will probably be the initial choice. I should just order some Microdol, though I'm not keen on it for Neopan which is what I normally shoot.

    I have multiple rolls so the first one or two will definitly be experimented with including filters.

    It's going to be a week or two before I think I'm going to have the opportunity to shoot a couple things I have in mind, so patience!

    There's Neopan loaded in a camera now. I'm looking for something halfway decent to photograph.
