Hi all,
I have a little project coming up, photographing an ironworks and the process of iron casting. (I remember trying to photograph an old steel-forge when I was a teenager and the furnace came out black. I think I was using something slow, like PanF, APX25, or something like that; a bad choice whatever it was). So, I want to go for something panchromatic with extended red sensitivity. Formats include 120 (6x17) and 4x5", or (preferably) 5x7". Any particular film/developer combination suggestions? I want to be able to differentiate as much detail as possible. Was thinking of Superpan 200 for the 6x17 MF stuff, but am unsure about suitable LF films around. Got heaps of FP4+ and Fomapan 200 on tap, but am happy to buy a box of whatever. My go-to developers are normally D-76/ID-11, Rodinal, HC-110 and PMK Pyro. Zone System user generally (tricky with reds though, I guess). Thanks.
