It’s becoming difficult to get hold of now, but faster emulsions that show the ‘grain’ can add a great ‘feel’ to an image; quite retro, moody, dramatic. Is anyone else shooting it and what on?

I have recently begun shooting quite a bit with Neopan 1600 (which I hope is not discontinued, despite what I continue to hear), Tmax 3200, and Delta 3200, all with pleasing results. I especially like my results with Neopan and Tmax (exposed at 1600).

Is there a film available and really usable at 3200. I just know, that the Delta 3200 is about ISO 1000 in real…

Never used. If I need a faster shutter speed I would push a 400 to 1600, something like that. But I’d like to try a proper high speed film once.

I just bought up a bunch of the sadly discontinued Neopan 1600/SuperPresto as I love this film for the beautiful grain.

I’ve been shooting Tmax 3200 and 800, 1600, 2500 and box speed.

I recently heard FujiFilm was discontinuing Neopan 1600 so I grabbed a few rolls. I heard the beads on this stuff were the size of golf balls, and had excellent grain so I bought a couple.

Highest speed C41 I’ve shot is Superia 400 and Kodak Portra 400vc, also recently discontinued

I use ilford delta 3200 and I really like it. got some nice hand held shots at night: http://stripy-beast.co.uk/?p=319. it’s a bit grainy, but I bought the film in the first place looking for grain and was quite impressed with how ungrainy it actually was.

Yup, i’m still using 800/400, like Provia 400X

And for BW, sometimes i use ILFORD 3200 also
