1. I loved Tri X. That was my go to film.

2. I have some of that as well

I rounded up several different B&W emulsions I plan on trying out all over again.

3. Ilford is readily available here. I like it enough not to go out

Of my way to find anything else.

I want to try its Pan F ISO 50.

4. I tend to go the other way with higher ISO film

For me film shot today is esoteric. I want at least a bit of grain to be perceivable simply to differentiate between digital. It's extremely difficult to duplicate the look of film with a digital camera. Certainly there are plug-ins which mimic the look, but there's something about film that sets it apart and that's what I want to achieve.

5. The Pan F would be for portraits, but an Ilford 400 would be

good for everything else.

6. Ilford 400 is not very grainy

It actually compares pretty well to ISO 100 film.

7. True. I think I used Ilford 100 a few years back. I'm going out to buy some film today.

It will probably be color because I don't want to go across town for Black and White.
