Hi,
I've been shooting some hand-held portraits with my 4x5 Speed Graphic using 100 ISO film and flash bulbs. I'd like to try some available light photography, but still shooting hand-held so I'm looking at pushing 400 film to 1600 or more. What I would like to know is your favourite film and developer combination to achieve these sort of speeds.
Locally (Melbourne, Australia) I can get HP5, Tri-X, T-Max 400 and Rollei R3 in 4x5.
Developing will be in a 3010 drum on a Jobo CPP, so long times and critical temperatures aren't a problem.
I'm aiming for a 12x16 print with only a small amount of cropping.
The Rollei R3 seemed promising, if expensive, but some comments on photo.net made me wonder if I couldn't achieve the same results with a cheaper film.
TIA,
Paul
