John...you just have a way about you..........

I shoot all Ilford right now in B+W LF. Very simple reason; it is good and costs less than Kodak. I am not really cheap nor am I really poor so I can afford Tri-x I jsut choose to save the money as Ilford is fully as good as kodak..........for me at my level of useage

Yes. I've met John. I think his posts don't come across fairly.

I vaguely remember something about opinions being like a part of the anatomy and everyone having one. Trying to remember what it was. =)

Hi John,

The expression is, "Opinions are like belly buttons... everybody has one!"

Cheers,

well---it sure BEHAVES like it's thicker.

Are you referring to the film, or the photographer?

P.S. Just kidding, of course. No offense intended, just trying to lighten the mood around here.

P.P.S. My two favorite black and white films are T-Max 400 and FP4+. I have a freezer full of both in 14x17. Unfortunately, I don't have time to use either right now and can't decide if I should sell it (which I will likely regret later) or keep it until I have the time to put it to good use. I always have x-ray (gasp!!!!) film as a fall back plan. It's one of the reason I chose 14x17 as my ULF format of choice. It's a standard size for various medical and industrial films. So, in addition to the cheap, standard 2-sided x-ray films, 14x17 is also available in (more expensive, less scratch prone) single-sided mammography and industrial films.

Just curious where you buy mammography and industrial films?

I haven't bought any, yet. But, I have seen it for sale occasionally on eBay. It's also available from the large medical suppliers, but at prices that rival T-MAX 400 (when you could get it).

That reminds me of my very first attempt to load 8x10 holders. I spent half an hour in the dark unsuccessfully trying to load the first sheet of film. Finally I decided to waste a sheet by loading it with the lights on so I could see what the problem was. Lo and behold, I was trying to load a sheet of cardboard.

I'm so glad it didn't fit. Imagine how embarrassing it would have been to ask the lab to develop a piece of cardboard.

Been there
