I just crawled up out of the darkroom where I was making some mundane
11X14s.  While down there I realized that one of the things I like best
about the chromogenic black and white films (XP2 and its kin) is the masking
layer.  These films almost print themselves.  Very little ...

I'm using an Illumitran copier to copy many of my old slides onto
Kodak's Portra 100T print film, using an 85B filter. I've gotten very
good results, good contrast and saturated color as far as my aging eyes
can see, I'm not a pro, just an amateur photographer. I seem to see a

What are the current best choices  for 200 and 400 ASA print films?
I mean in terms of colour balance and grain. I don't mind using a
warming filter, if necessary.
I do shoot both indoors and out.

Could people give me some tips/advice as to how to get the best finest
grain from Agfa APX 100?  Best exposure, developing time etc.
I will be using ID-11 1+1

I just bought some Elite Chrome 100 (fresh, at a big dealer) and it was
marked "NEW" and "Finest Grained Consumer Color Slide Film" or words to that
effect.
The Kodak online data sheet is unchanged since January.

How much exposure latitude can I get with B&W films?  Worst and  best
please?
Thanks,
Cheers,

Kodak has made two film types that were both named 126:
-- 1906 - 1949 (roll film)
    -- Negative size 4.25" x 6.5"
-- 1963 - 1999 (Instamatic cartridge)

I zoned out at B&H's web site and accidentally
ordered Astia 100, instead of the new Astia 100F
that I was eager to try out becuase of it's super-
fine grain and relatively low contrast.

Is there any problem with taking Fuji Superia X-Tra 800 to Costco in
Issaquah, WA to be developed?
I've been digging through this ng, and I'm a little lost on whether I
need to find a Fuji lab. Since Costco (or at least that Costco) sells

I have been debating how to interprete my results of longer exposures up
to 64 seconds under daylight-balanced fluorescent light(D50).  My early
interpretations and images are online at:

Hey All,
I've recently rec'd a old Junior Six-16 camera, and it has unused film in
it! All the backing paper says is "Kodacolor".
I would like to actually expose this film.

I was wondering if I could get a few opinions on which 400 ASA slide
film most closely fits the following criteria.
1. Good colour range and balance, particularly on the warm end. The
faster films I have tried so far seem to tend toward blue or lack of
