I just join here and there seem to be tons of great info! I have recently started shooting black and white film again after more than 10 years of all digital. I am really enjoying the experience and learning a lot from it. I am not looking at "replacing digital" with film but I find the two quite complementary and I have been shooting about a roll of film per week for the last few months.
For now I am shooting mainly 35mm Ilford FP5+ either at box speed (400 ISO) or pushed to 1600 ISO if needed. I am developing and scanning all my negatives but I have also setup a basic darkroom in my basement to do some printing. I have posted some information on my cameras and darkroom setup on my web page at http://photo.fleurey.com/blog.
This is a photography forum so enough text, here are a picture
Welcome to APUG! I just had a look at your website/blog and it's quite interesting. I too, shoot an FE, one of my favourites film cameras. Looking forward to seeing more of your work!
Thanks, and good to know that other people from Norway are here!
I have never tried reversal developing, are you processing regular b&w negative film in a special way or using some kind of positive b&w film?

Welcome aboard. I also just joined, and have resurrected my old Hasselblad and ordered B&W film along with Ilford mailers. Eventually will develop my own film, but for now, want to try different films until I find one that I like.
