I have been away from darkroom work for years. Back then it was 35mm, so for B&W non action subjects there was a lot of PanX being shot. Tuesday, my new 4X5 cam era is due to arive, and now I need to choose a film to start with (and hopefull y grow with). From what I read, with view cameras there is a lot of small apatur es and long exposures to be worked with. Since ultimate enlargements won't be th at big (mostly 2x-3x possibly some 5x-6x) the slow fine grained film may not be as important. I know there will be a lot of testing and fine tuning to come up w ith a system to fit my own equipment and style, but I was looking for a good sta rting point. Are the faster (400) films suitable, or should I be looking at the slower films for mainly landscape and portrait work?----Thanks----JimJ
