I'll also stop shooting dozens of different film stocks and focus on just ~3 from now on (Delta 100/400/3200), so I can nail down just a few process recipes.
I've finally settled on three B&W film stocks too: TMax 100/400/3200. Plus Ultramax 400 for colour.

This was an experiment. I was looking for big, chunky grain and was curious to see if pushing Kentmere 400 to 1600 with DF96 would do it.
6 minutes dev time @ 90.
Here is a selection of images from that roll (Leica M7, CV 40 1.2) taken in blazing sunlight and very dim indoor conditions. I wanted to see how it would handle opposite ends of the exposure scale!
No exposure compensation in post/scanning. Just straight conversions.
Frankly the results were not what I expected - and in a good way. A little more grain but surprisingly little. Still great tonal range.
I love Kentmere 400! The fact that it is the cheapest B&W film on the market is a huge bonus....Show more →
That is awesome! Pushing Kentmere is definitely in my near future
For some reason, this location looks incredibly familiar to me. Would you mind my asking where it is?
Konica Genba Kantoku DD + Kodak Gold 200. For a P&S designed for construction sites, I am continuously amazed by how accurate the AF is and how sharp it is at both 40mm & 60mm. And it has a decent flash to boot. Great beach/holiday cam!
First film scans came back from the M4-P and CineStill BwXX (ISO 250). Lens used varied between 35 Lux pre-ASPH v2 and the 28 Summaron f/5.6 re-issue.
Between me using a light red filter and what appears to be very high contrast scans from the lab, it took quite a bit of editing to get the files into this state – max shadow slider + lowered contrast slider by about half.
