Back when I used to do a lot of 35mm photojournalism stuff, I loved shooting Tmax 3200. I don't mind the grain or the loss of shadow detail, and it was great to be able to just shoot with available light and not have to worry about setting up a tripod or blowing out the image (and calling attention to yourself) by using a flash.
Since I finally got a monorail camera for landscape stuff, I'd like to start shooting some hand-held stuff with my Speed Graphic - including some night scenes. The only problem is that from what I can tell, the fastest 4x5 format film is 400. Given longer LF lenses, this ends up being a double-whammy compared to 35mm. Anyone have any recommendations for a film available in 4x5 that I could reliably push 2-3 stops (or more)? Developer suggestions would be great too.
Thanks!
