800 speed B&W film?
Perhaps I'm not looking hard enough, or it may be the confusing
labeling (P3200?), but I'm having trouble finding an 800 speed black and white film. Does such a thing exist? Thanks. Bob |

I think Ilford Delta 3200, Kodak Tmax 3200 and Fuji Neopan 1600 can be used at 800 with good results. Simon. "Bob C" wrote in message m...

If rated according to ISO procedures, TMZ comes in at 800 when processed in D-76. It's pushed processed to get EI 3200 normally - hence the "P3200" nomenclature on the yellow box. Dana |

800 speed B&W film?
Simon:
Thanks for the info. I've read that some B & W film can be shot at different speeds. I am assuming the whole roll must be shot at the same speed, and the lab technicians must be told what the speed is so they can adjust the chemistry. Is this correct?

Thanks for the help. It looks like the P3200 is the stuff I need. Bob If rated according to ISO procedures, TMZ comes in at 800 when processed in D-76. It's pushed processed to get EI 3200 normally - hence the "P3200" nomenclature on the yellow box. Dana |

I am assuming the whole roll must be shot at the same speed, and the lab technicians must be told what the speed is so they can adjust the chemistry. Is this correct? Bob Yes, that is correct. I would consider developing the film yourself. It's really quite easy to do, and you can control the development much more than labs tend to do. All the details of the developing times for different speeds can be found at www.digitaltruth.com By the way, if you want a good 800 speed film, I'd recommend using the Fuji Neopan 1600 rated at 800. I have used all three of the 'fast' films and found that that's the one I prefer. Simon. |

800 speed B&W film?
but I'm having trouble finding an 800 speed black
and white film. T-Max 3200 film can be exposed and processed at ISO 800. |

Does such a thing exist? Thanks. Bob In fact, most B&W film can be shot and processed to give you different ISO's. I shoot HP5+ from anywhere between EI 250 - 2500, and soup it either in ID-11 or HC-110 when I need to push. Sometimes Microphen does an excellent job. Try that. It can be shot and processed to produce different EI values, not different ISO's. ISO is one of those 47,543,234 page standards where you need to meet certain conditions to meet the standard. Changing the dial on the camera doesn't give you different ISO values, because the density and contrast of the negatives will be slightly different, and may not meet the standard. Digital cameras may in fact be covered by that standard, although having not read it, I can't be sure if they are covered by the same standard or a different one. Paul |
