I do. While I shoot mostly Kodak Gold 400 for general purpose photography I absolutely love Fujifilm's Provia 100F slide film. It is so much fun loading the slides into the projector and seeing them huge on the wall with crystal clarity. The film gives me everything I expect to be in the image and the colors are just how I see them. It is fast enough to capture a lot of action but it also has a noticeable lack of grain. Anybody else have a favorite they would like to share?

My favorite films are definitly all 3 "Lord of the Rings-movies"....love the scenery. When it comes to photo-film i am completely lost though.....
How come we say 'It's colder than hell outside' when
isn't it realistically always colder than hell since hell is
supposed to be fire and brimstone?

Fugi Superia X-TRA 400 & Kodak Gold for anything under 400. I should go out and do some slides again. Quite different from making a DVD with jpgs an watching on the TV than hearing and smelling the slide projector.No stress when one of the viewrs runs up and sticks the fingers on a wall rather then the big screen TV to point out something.

Aside from Infrared film, I loved using Kodak TechPan 50 ASA film. There was no sharper 35mm B&W film available on the market, and the details you could pull from a negative were nothing short of amazing. The downside was that it was very sensitive and exact exposure and developing were required to make the most of it. Has anyone else ever used it? http://www.sbccphoto.org/show_Tip.asp?ID=1 Developing method. A quote from Rich Oasen: "Years ago, there was an article about TechPan film that had just come out from Kodak," says Oasen, "and people were saying they would look at a picture or negative and they'd see a dust spot. They started blowing it up. Suddenly, that dust speck turns out to be an airplane in the background that was flying through the scene that the photographer didn't even know about." As far as favorite movie films...too many to name. =]Kort Kramer - Kramer Kreations

No favourites but i'm currently using Ilford Pan F50 (for summer...lol) and Fuji Neopan 400 and Superia 400 and 800. Not seen the Kodak Techpan film here...going to try out Tri-X 400 soon :) edit: Just looked at the link, some good shots there, looks like a fine film (pun intended :))

I like the bold colors and great contrast from the Fuji Superia Reala film. I tend to use ISO100 but it comes in all flavors of ISO. Thomas

I bought some Fuji Velvita a couple months ago after reading about how great it is but haven't used it as of yet. Right now it is chilling in the fridge. I don't even have a slide projector or film scanner.

I have to return the Velvia that got shipped to me. It was 120 size. Now I have to wait a long time to get slides back. They used to get shipped 1.5 hours north to Dallas but the lab stoppeddoing general work so they get shipped to Pennsylvania. I love slides, nonetheless.
