Originally posted by stevebrot As you get your feel for what you like, you might want to try Rollei Retro 80s. It can be expensive and a little picky to develop, but its spectral sensitivity is biased towards the red end. As a result, it is highly suitable for nudes, male portraiture, and landscapes*. Excellent fine grain and tonality too.
You say expensive but on this side of the water, its cheaper than Kodak, Ilford and Fuji.
I've been using Retro 100 (and APX) for ages but I've just ordered some 80S. What are you using to develop it and what speed are you shooting it at? I almost bought some 400S but a lot of people seem to have problems developing that.
