Verichrome pan

FP4+ I think...

mine was Ilford FP4 24exp 35mm and I still have the negatives I went to the country and shot a sheep but then it chased me hehehehe.
A teacher called Mary Dorahy gave it to me. she was a huge influence on my life and I wouldn't be where I am today without her.

I cant remember what we were given as bulk load back at school (APX maybe?), but the first film I used with my new Mamiya about 4 years ago was Fuji Neopan Acros 100

 

[fschifano]

Verichrome Pan. Must have been around 1960 or so.

 

[Ralf]

Ilford FP4

 

[snallan]

FP4, early '70s

 

[IloveTLRs]

Acros 100, one year ago. That one roll got me back into film.

 

[jim appleyard]

Plus-X or Tri-X. This was HS photo class and we were given "outdoor or indoor" film to use from bulk rolls. I had everything backwards in class: f/22 was the bigger aperture as it was the bigger number, the wrong film was in the camera and set at the wrong ISO.

I took out our little rangefinder cameras onan outing club ski trip to the Adirondacks and did everything wrong! Those first two rolls of film were so bad--overexposed and leprosy all over the film from missloading on the SS reels. I still have them to remind me that things can always get worse!

I initially used Ilford XP2 as my B&W film but my first "real" B&W film was T-Max 100.

 

[kchittenden]

Plus-X in the early 70s

 

[ajmiller]

FP4+.
It was the film my lecturer used, and handed out to the class when we first used medium format about one year ago exactly.

MIne was Tmax as well. I could buy it at WalMart back then.....

 

[mooseontheloose]

Kodak Black and White Portra...I wanted to shoot my brother's wedding in black and white to see how I liked the process. Of course, the film was discontinued but I've been mostly using Tri-X ever since.

Verichrome Pan in a Kodak Brownie 127. I notice several other Verichrome initiates. See you at the senior centre chaps

 

[barbara ann]

Good grief! I simply have no idea what I first used it was SO long ago. However, now I use Ilford HP5PLUS 400 and am very satified with it...

FP4 20 exposure (about 1981) in Ilfosol developed on the same day I bought my first camera. I still have the negs and can print the first shot (of a bird table) I ever took.
