So over the past few months I've gotten into film. I bought a holga, then a mamiya, and in total I've shot maybe 20 rolls of 120...
I've been using Rollei Retro and Kodak Ektar / Ektachrome because that's what they sold in the local shop.
But looking online there's all sorts of different films -- fujifilm, Ado, rollei, agfa, kodak
What films do you shoot and why?
WIll the Kodak B+W look much different to Rollei and will that look different to the Fuji B+W?
Or should I just buy film based on ISO I need?
Also, I've noticed some "special films" -- sensitized, or panchromatic, or digibase.
Are they worth it? Will I really get that much better of a shot with digibase?
I ask because I'm about to place another order, and I could spend hundreds just to try each different film...
