  I just picked up a Konica Hexar AF and was wondering what some of your favorite rolls of film is to use for your film camera.

  Good all around film? Nice color or BW?

  So much to choose from!

  TMX100 in Rodinal is great.... double dilution, double the time, agitate very little....

  Fuji Neopan 100 in Diafine is really nice for contrasty light

  Kodak TriX in Diafine is great for 1200 ASA contrasty situations, red filters,etc...

  with B/W film, the film/developer combination is what matters, not just the film..... Diafine is nice if you do your own development, as it keeps forever and is re-usable, 2 bottles, 3 minutes in each solution... Rodinal is diluted a TON, so you can use a small bottle and mix with water new each time, your supply should last a long-ass time...

  • awesome, thnx.– sea_sea1/2

    rodinal gives sharp edge contrast, sharp grain, nice tonality. Diafine gives smoother highlights, more dynamic range if contrasty light– vaxorcist2/2

  vaxorcist do you have a dark room set up at home? for years i've kept my enlarger and other equipment with the hopes of setting it up somewhere in the house. maybe the garage or something.
  i used to use a spare bathroom back in college but now it just doesn't work like that.

  • or do you just do the developing at home and print somewhere else?– sea_sea

  lasts forever and can be diluted to control contrast. it's damn near perfect.

  • Rodinal's been around since like 1890... why my intro photo prof demanded D-76 always confused me, I hated D76– vaxorcist
