Was out on the weekend, to compare these two films. I've been using Pan F for a year now. Love it. I used to use Delta 100 quite a bit in 4x5 back in the 90's. Pan F (EI 25) is on the left. Delta 100 (EI 64) on the right. Some subtle differences. I like them both.
@SJC1952 I agree. It's such a nice film. It's the first time I developed it in Xtol (Xtol-R). I usually develop it in D23 1+3, but will probably stick with Xtol for now.
@Mainecoonmaniac I haven't done a comparison yet as far as grain goes. I'll do that tonight. One thing is clear at least to my eye is that Pan F seems to have more local contrast in this comparison. I wish they put this stuff on sheets.
That what I liked about the shot with Pan F. I plan to get a couple or rolls of Pan F 120 so I could split the roll up for my Minox spy camera my wife got me. As for my film taste, I always preferred the look of conventional films vs tabular grain films. I'm just old I guess.
@Mainecoonmaniac me too. I've always conventional films (although sometimes TMY-2 looks fantastic). Favourite for a long time has been HP5. Looks like Pan F could be my main slow film. Haven't decided if I'll settle on Xtol-R, or D23 1+3. Another test!
@NedL he suddenly came and parked right there! The road was completely empty and he decides to park there. Oh well, I thought it would add a sense of scale in the end.
