    Canon AV1 + 50mm f1.8

    could anyone recommend the best film to use for black and white pictures with
    this camera/lens?

    I just bought this camera so I'm fairly new to all of this, I just want to experiment
    and have a bit of fun:thumbsup:

    Kind Regards

    And what camera and lens would that be? Your posting does not, unfortunately, provide that information, at least not so that it is obvious to me.

    Well the title says 50mm f/1.8 and Canon AV-1

    But the choice of film doesn't depend on the camera.
    It depends on what you want the pictures to look like.

    I have to defer to the experts in the Film forum.

    Update: googled the AV1, I missed out on that on that during my school years.
    Predecessor of the AE-1 and A1, which explains it.
    I had no money while I was at school, and little when I went to college.

    thanks for the quick replies, I've been told that Ilford HP5 Plus film would be okay for the type of action shots I want to create.

    kind regards
