AGFA still rules IMHO. Too bad it can't be found anymore.

Tri-x 400 all the way

Tri-X?

It was the greatest film ever...until they changed the formula about 5 or 6 years ago.

i like delta, i like fp4, and i like tx320, pulled a stop developed 7 minutes in 1:25 rodinol

 

[newrmdmike]

but what i suggest is buying 10 rolls of a few dif films and shooting them very carefully, take notes on everything, shoot the same scene at the same time with a couple dif films, you can even try different developing techniques and see what you prefer.

there are so many elements that there is no real best, just personal bests and favorites. . . for certain situations

I really like hp5 for 400 and fuji acros for 100...... thats what i like but every one will have different favorites....
