Fast 35mm BW Film?

[Peter Blake]

over 400asa for preference. I know they can be pushed but some places don't offer this service. XP2plus I am considering a) for convenience with the C41 process and b) for its latitude. but I wouldn't dismiss anything else. Fuji Acros 1600 was my original mark but that seems to have disappeared now. Ilford Delta 3200 I am told is more grainy than the Delta brand might suggest. Tmax 3200 also gone I believe?

Anything else in the marketplace?

How fast do you want?
I've had better results from pushing hp5 in ddx than I've had from delta 3200.
In contrasty light with a modern lens I'd be happy shooting xp2 at 1000iso and processing it normally

I agree with Hamish regards HP5 and Delta 3200 and it would be my first choice but it depends what look you are after. Pushed HP5 is likely to be very characterful and 'rock 'n roll'.

I went with the XP2 in the end. Cheers

looking forward to the results!
