Hey guys.

I've just worked my way through a load of 400asa films, and I fancy having a play with some 1600/3200 speed films!

any good 35mm B&W films you'd reccomend? places to buy?

examples of shots would be great!
 
There arent many high iso films around (1600-3200) Kodak make a T-Max 3200, Ilford do Delta 3200, Fuji have a Neopan 1600

Most on here like to use 400 speed film and underexpose by 2 stops, they then overdevelop to bring out the detail
 
Interesting! something I've never heard of before.

I guess it'd be pretty beneficial though as 400 is cheaper / more avaliable / higher variety.

I don't process my own films though, if i sent them off, would they know to over-develop or would I have to say?
 
Ask for them to push it, so if it 400 film exposed at 1600 then ask for a 2 stop push.
 
Thanks! Maybe I'll stick to my 400's for a while then

learn something new everyday and all that.
 
lordy.....lol

If you want to shoot some fast film and develop normally, shoot some Delta 3200.
If shooting indoors, call it iso 1000, if outside in bright daylight iso 1600 has looked good for me in the past..:)

I thought most of the 1600 and 3200 speed films were actually 800-1000 and just designed with pushing in mind?
 
I shot some neopan 1600 and hp5+ @1600 at my brother's wedding. I preferred the look of the HP5+ but my choice of developer was wrong really. They are on my Flickr somewhere!

^ this. Neopan 1600 is actually rated at ISO640 - they specifically avoid writing 'ISO'1600 on the box.
