we all know if you look hard enough you can fine some wacky film expired in 1940 or glass plates expired in 1914, that's great i guess ..

but this thread isn't about that .. its about the last film you exposed developed, not to stick in the freezer and wait until
the zombie apocalypse ... but the last film you developed who was it manufactured by?

i know this is a B/W thread area, but it can be color/colour film too ..

the market is small, but there is still a lot of film being made, bought and used.

what are you using ?

Kodak Tmax400 and Tri-x 400. Both exposed on a recent backpacking trip and developed in the same tank. I was gifted 60 rolls of Kodak 120 -- I'll be using that for awhile! Also some Tech Pan 4x5! Otherwise it tends to be FP4+ sheet film.

Developed in HC-110, 72F for 8 minutes...Dil. B

I chose Ilford as currently I've been shooting mostly FP4, but I've also developed some Tri-X/Arista Premium 400 lately as I get caught up on my backlog.

Ilford HP4+ here. (Given that Ilford is coming out so far as the main maker, and that they have the largest range of B&W, it would be interesting to know how purchases are split between their individual films.)

Ilford PanF+ was the most recent (yesterday) and three rolls of Kentmere 100 before that, but only because I'm testing cameras and developing times. I shoot more Tri-X than anything else by 10:1.

Mine was Arista Premium 400, but would have been Ilford FP4+ last week. I keep a camera loaded with each, and use them about equally.
On many days my most recently developed film is paper.

Ilford FP4+ is still my favorite. Most of my B&W is done with that. I did just slit a roll of Delta 400 to load some Minox cassettes for low light work. A little nicer grain than HP5, and that's important in the Minox.

Yesterday I handed a Fuji Provia 400X in for development (to 'Rossmann' here in Germany - they send them to a large commercial lab). I exposed it during the last about two months in my Rollei 35S. I look forward to the results. There are still about 30 in 135 and 30 in 120 in my fridge (it is my favorate slide film by far) - but I look forward to the new slide films from Ferrania too (backed them with 2 rolls 135 and 2 rolls 120 - up to now 100 ASA, but I hope they will expand their portfolio to 400 ASA soon after production start).

I guess I like to standardize, so I use Ilford HP5+ in all the formats I shoot: 35mm, 120, and (by far my favorite format) 4x5. And, no surprise, Ilford MG FB Classic paper and print developer. The only place I am a traitor is developer and fixer, where my loyalties belong to Photographer's Formulary and PMK, Pyrocat-HD, and TF-4.

My last film stock was Kodak Vision in 35mm and 16mm. Two weeks prior to that I purchased was 10boxes Ilford HP5+ and 10boxes Foma 100. All processed in Ilford Chems.

Ilford, but only because it's very hard (aside from buying from overseas) to get anything else (aside from consumer Kodak & Fujifilm C41 color films) in SA, film is expensive if you buy through official channels (and not through Ebay etc.) Retailers do not carry stock (where I live) and have RIDICULOUS minimum order requirements (like 100 rolls) I wish I could actually support other manufacturers too, but their local agents care not for film (Kodak and FujiFilm SA, I am referring to you!)> Ilford costs about $14US a pop (and more for stuff like Pan F) here.

Lomography films are (sort of) available too, but they rarely have stock and I have had some issues with their 120 films, so I try and avoid them mostly.
