It has to be Ilford, I use their 35mm, 120 and 5x4. The only other B&W film I'll use is Fuji Acros in QL's.
 
Ilford because of the range of film they make. PanF+ and Delta 400 are the films I use now. I'm also planning on backing a winner by using them and hence not have to chop and change film over the next 5-10 years.
 
Dear All,

Just a short note to thank all of you who voted for ILFORD Photo / HARMAN technology, and those of you who did not as well, I am leaving for the Christmas break today and do you know what ? I go home proud and happy that people around the World enjoy the products made in our factory by people who enjoy creating, making and promoting them. My vote goes to all the manufacturers around the World of all the quality products that we use in traditional photography, and all the fantastic creative and passionate people who use them....you....have a great 2007...
