[Leica] Benjamin Zander

That’s the thing films may come and go but the work you did with them stays and you get tow work with them again.
My signature film starting out mainly in the studio was Kodak Panatomic X which I shot at iso 50 developed in Buetlers or Rodinal.
They are always a pleasure to work with those images. And the fast films too. Ilford Delta films too were amazing. But in the end I was a Neopan kinda guy. Going from the 1600 on location to the 100 in the studio and not so much the 400 which in Xtol 1:3 looked like all the 100 films I was used to. The high rez stuff but at 400! Things did evolved.
I feel now though that its quiet exciting being in photography and doing the digital work flow. I wish it happened when I was in my 40's and not my 50's. which would have meant less time with film but that’s how I feel about it.

    For me Fuji Neopan 400 and 1600 were/are the best black and white films ever made EVER! I used them for a long time and now I am going back to them 20+ years later and they are great to scan with a wonderful tonal range. They were the Kodachrome of black and white films as far as I am concerned, and I hope one day they will re-introduce them. It may be a dream, but a man can dream, can’t he?
