Hold me, I'm falling

Amazingly, the first time that I've tried Kodak Tri-X. (120 format, Bronica ETRS).

P.S. Next year marks a special anniversary, 120/120: the 120th anniversary of the introduction of 120 format film in 1901, not a bad run.

Still awaiting my FP4 film for my EOS 5, cant wait to get out with B&W Film again,

Lets see if film is still around in another 100 years, I hope to see it 200 years old, I will be 152 though lol

FP4+ is my favourite film stock. A properly exposed and developed negative is usually very easy to scan or to print.

Have to put Film head back on, have not used film for about 5 years, but will have a play when it arrives !!

That film certainly seems to have nice contrasting tones James . I certainly like the results a lot ....

I'll be interested to see how the roll of 35mm size that's currently drying turns out, I think it's probably a bit easier than Ilford HP5+ which is the other "mainstream" 400 ISO cubic grain film.

Interesting. What do you use to scan your 120 negatives, James?

I've got a roll of Kentmere iso 400 loaded in my film camera just waiting for an opportunity to use it.

For 120 and 5x4, I use a flatbed scanner (Epson V800) with VueScan. (For 35mm I have a Nikon CoolScan V which has better resolution but only handles 35mm films).

@RyewolfI'm not very familiar with Kentmere 400, I think I've only shot one roll ever; plus the one that is currently in my 5D (that's the Lord 5D, a fixed lens rangefinder from the 50s/60s, rather than a Canon). I've still not found a 400 ISO film that I really like in 35mm.

I’ve been researching scanning negatives with a digital camera on a copy stand which some claim can be as good or better than scanners. I tried photographing 120mm negative a couple of years, taking 9 photos then stitching them. I used an iPad set on light box setting to illuminate the neg and two sheets of glass to hold the negative flat. It worked to a pint but there were so many scratches and specks on the final image that it was unusable. I think it worth trying again and improving my setup.

@JamesT I'll let you know how I get along with it... Heavy snow and lockdown has made it difficult to get anywhere

Sun can play havoc in wooded areas but this looks just about right!...
