Interestingly, I have almost completed my two real-world projects comparing results of various films and developers along with several different 35mm cameras.
My favorite films, now, in ranked order with my preferred developer and an acceptable alternative, are:
- Fujifilm Acros II 100 Developer: Ilford DD-X
- Kodak TMax 100 Developers: Rodinal/Ilford DD-X
- Eastman 5222 X X 250 Developers: Ilford DD-X/Rodinal
My favorite film cameras and lenses:
1. Leica M2, 50 Summilux
2. Nikon F100, Nikon 50/1.5 G
3. Nikkormat, Nikkor Auto H 50/2.0
However, I have numerous other Nikon cameras that I will always keep. They are just a joy to use.
I will continue posting results on my film adventures as I am planning on future projects and the rolls of film I am shooting, developing and processing are not only honing my skills in this wonderful craft, but the entire process is therapeutic. More on my projects later.
For now I will post a few images and later, as I continue on this fascinating journey.
First up are a few images from the last roll I just developed using the very capable and fun to use Nikon F80(seriously) with the Nikon 50/1.8.G lens;
