Hello, my name is Scott and I'm a photoholic.

Yes it is.

Okay I figure I'll ask here in case John is still reading this thread... What film should I get for my B&W class also what is a good paper (looking inexpensive but not cheap)

Well, it's been since the late '60s since I took a B&W class. We always used Plus-X pan and Tri-X from Kodak.

 

[jstuedle]

Is Tmax one of those that is color chemistry processed?

 

[monkeykoder]

Darn well I figured I'd ask here as well.

 

[Big Bully]

I don't know, All I know is that it takes great pictures

 

[jstuedle]

Kodak quit making B&W paper, I always used Kodabrimide. I guess Orient is a good one, but been out of it too long.

 

[jstuedle]

I think I still have 100' of Tri-X in the freezer. We used to roll our own and always bought film in bulk.

 

[monkeykoder]

Yeah I was looking at buying a bulk loader it seems like it would be a MUCH cheaper way of doing things.

 

[jstuedle]

Sorry, I'm apparently of no help whatsoever.

Yeah I was looking at buying a bulk loader it seems like it would be a MUCH cheaper way of doing things.

Yea, if shooting a lot of film it's really the only way to go.

 

[jstuedle]

M/K, what camera are you shooting film in?

 

[monkeykoder]

No biggie I figured I'd ask just in case there was a super secret way of getting cheap film that worked well. (of course it seems like we wont even be MIXING our own chemicals so who knows)

 

[Big Bully]

I wish I was taking a photography class this semester! I miss the dark room

FM10 or the Mamiya NC1000 really depends on my mood.
