I know this is a highly individual preference question, but I am asking the serious photographers out there who know the beauty of an ansel adams' print, a sugimoto print and the other sensitive and subtle black and white prints made throughout history. I am an artist working in 4x5 materials and I would like to explore cheaper options to tri-x. I have heard of foma, arista, and forte films from looking at Freelance's site. Of course, there is always the option of buying all three and running several tests, etc., but frankly I don't know that I have the time or money to do that and I would love to hear other people's thoughts. I am generally looking for a 100 or 200 speed film (I shoot tri-x at 200 and process it normal to get my best results.)
Many thanks for your thoughts,
Serge
