Nicolai Grossman and I got into a debate lately about his weblog entry asking why we film-based photographers still shoot slide film.

A classic Kodak film.

Kodak's chromagenic B&W film.

Foma's 400 speed (very optimistically boxed... it's really only about 250-320 most of the time) inexpensive B&W film.

I'm not sure how different the 35mm versions and 120 versions really are. They are coated on different bases. The 35mm version is on a clear base and the 120 version is on a blue base.

Kodak's highest speed film. About 800-1000 true speed, pushes easily to 3200 and beyond.
