Hi, Alex and all.
>What are your preferred materials and why:

>A. color negative film
I don't shoot this stuff very often, and even less since I own the 300D
digital. The mju-2 is usually loaded with Superia 400, because of the
speed-grain balance.
>B. Color Slide film
Provia 100-F: very fine grain, nice colour (to me) and pushes reasonably
well up to 320 (when I develop it by myself). I'd like to try the Astia
100-F.
Fuji Sensia 400: excellent balance speed-quality-price. Great for
astro-photography when pushed to 1600.
>C. Black and White negative film
Tri-X: usually rated 1600 and soaked in DD-X, gives me good speed,
reasonable grain and *beautiful* tonal range.
Delta 100: it's now in my bulk film loader -- fine grain and nice tonal range.
Pan-F (plus): smooth grain, sometimes I like its 'classic' look.
Kodak Technical Pan: *weird* film, for sure, and it doesn't like DD-X at
all (though I got nice results in HC-110) but the detail is unbelievable,
plus almost no grain.
Enjoy,
...
