Most recently (yesterday in Jasper National Park): My favorite film for black and white landscape photography - Ilford PanF Plus (120 format, shot with the Blad).
Despite several pro-packs of E100G and E100VS sitting in the freezer, I have not been able to summon the desire (post-Kodachrome) to shoot any color. Maybe when the fall colors arrive...
Thirty-five mm-wise, I have been shooting Tri-x; again, I seem to have lost my interest in shooting color.

Shot some Portra 160NC that I had laying around, I was surprised at the "Magic Hour" look of these films when I shot them at around Noon.

I tried to extend the life of some Ilford Delta 100, 5 X 4 by storing in the fridge. I didn't wrap it very well and it got damp and the box went mouldy... I threw the packing away, noticing the 'Best Before' date was 1998. Slightly horrified I noticed the envelope was just folded and taped, not sealed. Yep... the damp had got inside, too. Even more horrifying was that the film wasn't separated by paper (They were promotional packs, I don't think this is Ilford's normal packaging).

So... I had to prize the sheets apart in the dark...

But apart from being 12 years out of date, stored in the damp, mouldy and stuck together, they were in great shape

Just developed the first one - and it was fine!

Much better condition than the Fortepan 400 which was well stored and only five years out of date. That was really foggy...

Why is the most popular thread also the most idiotic? Couldn't resist adding to it myself.

Finished a roll of TMY in the Mamyia, finished a roll of Fuji 200 something, the shot a 36 exposure roll of KodaColor 100 in the Nikon N90s and at the same time shot a roll of 24 exposure Ektar 25 in the N90.
Went to the Pershing Balloon Derby in Brookfield Missouri. Got something like 86+ exposures. And did not even think about taking the digital thingy. In fact I can't find the battery charger to use it if I wanted to. (Not that I am looking that hard).

I can’t get enough of the new portra 400. It has excellent colors and grain. And it seems to work better than others in underexposed parts. I still love it.

Indeed, went to use some yesterday and saw I just have 2 rolls left but 6 of the 160. The 400 is generally my preference, much more latitude for just a bit more grain.

This am I watched the sun rise at Lake Louise in Banff national Park, and then headed over to catch the early morning light at nearby (10km, or so) Morraine Lake. Beautiful. Makes me glad to be alive! Makes me proud as a Canadian that someone here had the foresight and intelligence to preserve this expanse of terra firma for future generations.
Shooting wise: I put two rolls each of E100G and E100VS through the Hasselblads; three rolls of E100G through the F5; and three rolls (more or less) through the F3P. Seems like a bit excessive, but I did so for two reasons: 1) This is my first color shoot since 25 December 2010 when I shot my last rolls of PKM, PKR and KR
(#1563) and I have no prior experience with 35mm Ektachrome (I have always been a "mad bracketer"); and 2) I wanted to take a hard look at how E100G and E100VS compare.
As well, in a blasphemous frame of mind, I shot off a number of digital images. It will be interesting, when the Ektachromes return from Dwayne's, to see how the colors compare (I don't do the Photoshop Stomp: I shoot tiffs, view them on the Mac and then make the decision to "store or toast").

I find that ISO 100 is a bit slow for my usual shooting which never stops when the sun goes down. ISO 400 is much more versatile and I am talking for 1.4 lens.
However for ISO 100 the ektar is a great film.

What I find is very important for me is that the film scans well.

I usually stick with 200, but I absolutely love the Ektar film.
