I'm getting ready to order my first batch of film for 4x5. Just a quick question.
Does a given brand of sheet film behave the same as the equivalent brand of roll film or 35mm?
For instance, if I am comfortable shooting Fuji Neopan in 35mm and 120, will Neopan in 4x5 produce identical results given the differences in the way 4x5 is processed vs. 35mm?
Yes, sheet film is exposed and developed one at a time instead of a whole roll at a time.
Of course, 4x5 is developed in trays or drums, etc., versus processing 120/35 on reels.
Developing times and amounts of chemistry will also be different.
But, if I am used to shooting Neopan in my Rolleiflex and developing it in XTOL or D-76, but for these differences, can I expect similar results to what I already know?
I'm looking at ordering some Neopan (100) and some Tri-X (400) because I know the results they give and I am comfortable working with them but I am also thinking about Delta Pro (100) and a couple of others.
I think I'll get what I know just starting out then branch out to other films later.
What do you think?
T.I.A.
