Here's an example of a film that is not made anymore but was always one of my favorite emulsions in 4x5. It's Ektapan 4x5. Not the sharpest or finest grained film, but one of the richest, meatiest midranges of any black and white film, and extremely versatile. It was actually better at copying than Kodak Professional Copy Film. I probably still have a few outdated sheets left.
and a 35mm example of T-Max100, this one shot with an old Nikkor 18mm 3.5 on a Canon film body. Cool sign if you can find it, somewhere north of Bishop in the tablelands.

Thanks guys, i don't remember exactly but these look to be from ZF 28mm f2. i took 3 lenses out, zf 28mm f2, ais 50 1.4, and zf 100 f2
Wow, Zeiss. I was thinking it was a Nikon lens but no reason why it can't be something else. Very very fine piece of gear, those images are outstanding.

Really enjoying your work with the Tmax Peter, just out of curiosity did you use a red filter for that shot?
I hope its not rude to ask here but is there a website that has a list of "creative" description of the different types of film? As in the colour palettes, how it handles shadows and highlights and maybe even how it behaves when pushed or pulled?

Yes, both of the previous images were made with a 25A Red filter.

Not rude to ask at all. I'm not really sure about that answer though. There are a couple of forums out there dedicated to film use that might have information on that. Back in the day, whenever a new emulsion came out, you would buy a few rolls and test it for yourself to see if met your needs and standards. Somehow, even without the internet, word spread, probably through camera stores and photo magazines and there would be enough information for you to make at least a partially informed decision.
Wonderful work everyone! Back in town from a mini vacation. Some pics from a few weeks back. Canon elan 7ne, 40/2.8 stm w/red filter, tmax100, xtol 1:1, pakon, lr5
