Film for Wedding

hard with hasselblad at the late night wedding party. i use kodak tmax 3200 bw film or fuji npz 800. daytime i like tunsten slides. they are a super blue.
 
In a wedding I use Nikon D700 for the crap (i.e. bride's home, church, reception) and add my Hasselblad + Kodak Portra 160NC or 400NC for the 'shoot'...if shooting B/W then T-Max 400 is an amazing film...spectacular

As I remember TMAX 3200 does not exist in 120. Once I baught in 70mmx30m but I returned it as the film was unperfored.
Anyway I use "new"TMAX 400 at 1000 (processed at 1600 asa) and get good result on a 25x25cm picture on a 30x40cm paper. TMAX 400 does not existe in 220. :sad:

Ilford does a Delta3200. Grainy of course, but a beautiful grain in my opinion.
 
Portra NC. 160 or 400 ASA......?

Thanks


Yes, that's what I use ...wouldn't use anything else...of course, Kodak has just announced that the 400nc is to be replaced by a c41 neg film based on the est qualities of VC and NC.

Pity in a way as NC 400 is/was gorgeous.
 
the CFV is an interesting option !

I found the CFV-16 to be a difficult to use for weddings. The display was not bright enough to see the shot on screen in bright conditions to check focus.

Strange how one demands to see the image when there's a screen, but accepting no preview when using film. Maybe just me.
