just got a Nikon F3....:cool:

to start with, plan to buy film off the High Street, and develop onto CD with "Club35" so I can edit and print myself

what would be good choices to start with ?

presently have FujiFilm Superia 200 in my A1 - still to use
and a roll of Neopan 400CN B&W
both from Boots

thanks
 
The range of Fuji Superior emulsions are pretty hard to beat for general purpose shooting IMO.
Enjoy the F3 it's a classic Nikon workhorse.
 
For 'easy' B&W I'd go for Ilford XP2 as it's C-41 process and high street labs can't really mess it up...well...mostly...
Otherwise for a quick camera-test, any medium-speed C-41 colour neg film will be OK as any differences in the films will be swamped by the homogenous nature of high-street processing...

buying from Boots - whatever

but processing here...."link" trusting they will be better.....:thinking:

Saw that...
Looking for something similar here in Germany...
The biggest online print service here offers really good printing (but from digital-only uploads and for a price) - so I know there's a market here for paper-based prints - I just have to locate a decent lab...
