A film that dates back to the 1930s and has changed and grown as technology improved. FP4+ is Alex&#8217;s choice for outdoor shooting when the light is nice, even if cloudly. It responds well to being pushed or pulled and any developer you throw it in you&#8217;ll be rewarded with rich tones. It&#8217;s a film that just works and can be adapted to suit the conditions.

As a film Acros 100 has an unmatched ability to do long exposures with reciprocity failure taking on around the 20-minute mark. But for James, it sings when out doing portrait work especially paired in his Pentax 67II. His usual method is shooting at ASA-80 and developing in Ilford Perceptol.<\/p>\n<p><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/26156807328\/\" title=\"CCR:FRB - Review 22 - Fuji Acros 100\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/4717\/26156807328_dc11bed60b_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"CCR:FRB - Review 22 - Fuji Acros 100\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Type: Panchromatic B&#038;W<br \/>\nFilm Base: Acetate<br \/>\nFilm Speed: ASA-100, Latitude:<br \/>\nFormats Available: 35mm, 120, Sheets<\/p>\n<p><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/jamesl99\/37216496956\/\" title=\"St_E-002\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/4392\/37216496956_3d953a8445_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"St_E-002\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hasselblad 503cx &#8211; Carl Zeiss Planar 80mm 1:2.8 &#8211; Fuji Acros 100 @ ASA-80<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/jamesl99\/43864047055\/\" title=\"MCC-LOW-GSW-009\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/1844\/43864047055_8741ed1358_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"MCC-LOW-GSW-009\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fuji GSW690ii &#8211; EBC Fujinon-W f=65mm 1:5.6 &#8211; Fuji Acros 100<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/jamesl99\/49223503508\/\" title=\"ACR_WF-67II-004\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/49223503508_6986a728e1_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" alt=\"ACR_WF-67II-004\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pentax 67II &#8211; SMC Pentax-A 67 105mm 1:2.4 &#8211; Fuji Acros 100<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kodak TMax 100<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen it comes to film, John sometimes wants to make sure that the film doesn&#8217;t add its own flavour to an image. And when it comes to film, if you were to set it on an alignment chart, Kodak TMax 100 sits as a true neutral. Does that make Retro 80s Chaotic Good? A modern T-Grained film that will need a little extra time in that fixer to clear off that purple base but it will chew through your fixer a lot faster. You will get the best results if you run it through the native developer, TMax Developer at 1+4. But you can get equally sharp results with an old school look if you soup it in D-76 1+1 or pull it down to ASA-32 and develop in Xtol for that Panatomic-X look.<\/p>\n<p><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/28753323607\/\" title=\"CCR:FRB - Review 25 - Kodak TMax 100\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/853\/28753323607_c3a323077c_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"CCR:FRB - Review 25 - Kodak TMax 100\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Type: Panchromatic B&#038;W<br \/>\nFilm Base: Acetate<br \/>\nFilm Speed: ASA-100, Latitude: 25-800<br \/>\nFormats Available: 35mm, 120, Sheets<\/p>\n<p><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/28321697426\/\" title=\"El Gallion\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/8817\/28321697426_2d22191c4c_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"675\" alt=\"El Gallion\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nikon F5 &#8211; AF Nikkor 14-24mm 1:2.8G &#8211; Kodak TMax 100 @ ASA-32 &#8211; Kodak Xtol (1+1) 8:45 @ 20C<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/24109979425\/\" title=\"Creemore, Ontario\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/5744\/24109979425_7a41af71b5_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"Creemore, Ontario\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rolleiflex 2.8F &#8211; Carl Zeiss Planar 80mm 1:2.8 &#8211; Kodak TMax 100 @ ASA-100 &#8211; Kodak TMax Developer (1+4) 7:30 @ 20C<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/33237348600\/\" title=\"Locomotive 103\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/3770\/33237348600_e9fa66494d_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"821\" alt=\"Locomotive 103\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Graflex Pacemaker Crown Graphic &#8211; Schneider-Kreuznach Symmar-S 1:5.6\/210 &#8211; Kodak TMax 100 @ ASA-64 &#8211; Blazinal (1+25) 5:30 @ 20C<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<p><strong>Fomapan 100<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen it comes to classic films with classic grain and classic look, then look no further than Fomapan 100.

For Trevor, there was lots of times where they waited until it was just dry enough to get it into the enlarger to print and send on the wire.<\/p>\n<p><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/39319597234\/\" title=\"CCR:FRB - Review 12 - Kodak Tri-X 400\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/4711\/39319597234_766deace57_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"CCR:FRB - Review 12 - Kodak Tri-X 400\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Type: Panchromatic B&#038;W<br \/>\nFilm Base: Acetate<br \/>\nFilm Speed: ASA-400, Latitude: 100-6400<br \/>\nFormats Available: 35mm, 120, Sheets (Note: Sheet films of Tri-X are known as 320TXP)<\/p>\n<p><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/49467548968\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" title=\"IT Winter Fest\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/49467548968_aa695a7301_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"666\" alt=\"IT Winter Fest\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nikon F5 &#8211; AF DC-Nikkor 105mm 1:2D &#8211; Kodak Tri-X 400 @ ASA-1600 &#8211; Ilford Microphen (Stock) 12:00 @ 20C<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/47491874801\/\" title=\"Project:1867 - The Barber House\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/7800\/47491874801_1939614dbd_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"792\" alt=\"Project:1867 - The Barber House\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Graflex Pacemaker Crown Graphic &#8211; Schneider-Kreuznach Symmar-S 1:5.6\/210 &#8211; Kodak Tri-X 320 @ ASA-320 &#8211; Kodak D-76 (Stock) 5:30 @ 20C<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/37096320981\/\" title=\"Amy &amp; Jeremy - 12th August 2017\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/4378\/37096320981_7806b8f292_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"Amy &amp; Jeremy - 12th August 2017\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hasselblad 500c &#8211; Carl Zeiss Planar 80mm 1:2.8 &#8211; Kodak Tri-X 400 @ ASA-200 &#8211; Blazinal (1+25) 7:00 @ 20C<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<p><strong>Rollei RPX 400<\/strong><br \/>\nJohn loves his results to be consistent, and that consistency he gets with RPX 400. A spiritual successor to Agfa APX 400 and often left in the back of the film fridge in favour of the slower options. The best thing you can do with RPX 400 is to get your process down, tweak it until you get what you want. For John, it sings when you do a semi-stand option with Rodinal (1+100 for 60&#8242;) or if you want that extra crunch to give it a push. Oh and don&#8217;t bother with the RPX-D developer it is just a one-trick pony.<\/p>\n<p><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/28388116289\/\" title=\"CCR:FRB - Review 18 - Rollei RPX 400\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/4619\/28388116289_283fcc3025_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"CCR:FRB - Review 18 - Rollei RPX 400\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Type: Panchromatic B&#038;W<br \/>\nFilm Base: Polyester (PE)<br \/>\nFilm Speed: ASA-400, Latitude: 100-3200<br \/>\nFormats Available: 35mm, 120, 4\u00d75<\/p>\n<p><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/johnmeadows\/28944958381\/\" title=\"Logs in the forest\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/8328\/28944958381_4d275172e8_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1009\" alt=\"Logs in the forest\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hasselblad 500c\/m &#8211; Carl Zeiss Distagon 50mm 1:4 &#8211; Rollei RPX 400 &#8211; Blazinal (1+100) 60:00 @ 20C<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/funwithcameras\/49095664448\/\" title=\"Two Generations of 506 Carlton Car\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/49095664448_ec0becbe6a_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" alt=\"Two Generations of 506 Carlton Car\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nikon FM &#8211; AI-S Nikkor 50mm 1:1.8 &#8211; Rollei RPX 400 &#8211; Kodak HC-110 Dil.

And for James, it is his goto film because like TMax 100 it doesn&#8217;t add or take away from the image. While it might not be the best film to push, it certainly works great at box speed. The best developer in his opinion is Kodak Xtol, just reduce your times by 10% from what&#8217;s on the datasheet. But it also works well in Ilford DD-X, Kodak TMax Developer and HC-110. Just make sure, like all T-Grain film to extend that fixing time.<\/p>\n<p><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/39033353204\/\" title=\"CCR:FRB - Review 04 - Kodak TMax 400\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/4741\/39033353204_4db93929a2_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"CCR:FRB - Review 04 - Kodak TMax 400\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Type: Panchromatic B&#038;W, T-Grain<br \/>\nFilm Base: Acetate<br \/>\nFilm Speed: ASA-400, Latitude: 50-3200<br \/>\nFormats Available: 35mm, 120, Sheets<\/p>\n<p><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/32800822058\/\" title=\"Lady Lister\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/4850\/32800822058_18464b68ae_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"675\" alt=\"Lady Lister\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Zeiss Ikon Contax IIIa &#8211; Zeiss-Opton 1:1,5 f=50mm &#8211; Kodak TMax 400 @ ASA-200 &#8211; Pyrocat-HD (1+1+100) 15:00 @ 20C<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/funwithcameras\/34723752326\/\" title=\"Skywalk From Up Top Two\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/4226\/34723752326_b0a66f0033_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" alt=\"Skywalk From Up Top Two\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nikkormat EL &#8211; Auto Nikkor-H 50mm 1:2 &#8211; Kodak TMax 400 &#8211; Kodak TMax Developer (1+4) 6:45 @ 20C<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/8316594812\/\" title=\"Miami Military Institute\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/8504\/8316594812_6a741d244c_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"738\" alt=\"Miami Military Institute\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pentax 645 &#8211; SMC Pentax A 645 35mm 1:3.5 &#8211; Kodak Tmax 400 @ ASA-400 &#8211; Kodak HC-110 Dil.

Special thanks to NPP for being an awesome Union Brother! And while the responses didn&#8217;t surprise us with a lot of respondents going for films that we chose such as Ilford HP5+, Kodak Tri-X, Fuji Acros 100, and Ilford FP4+ being the top responses. Both Tmax 100 and Tmax 400 got mentions. But we also had some other films pop up, Ilford Delta 100 and Delta 3200 getting a couple of mentions. Also mentioned are Adox Silvermax, ORWO UN54+, Ultrafine Extreme 400, and Eastman Double-X!<\/p>\n<p>Want a subscription to PhotoKlassic International and are a fan of Classic Camera Revival? <a href=\"https:\/\/photoklassik-international.com\/shop\/ref\/32\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Visit their shop online<\/a> and buy a magazine or a subscription?
