FILM:
You will have to buy this at a camera shop, most drug stores do not sell true black and white film.
You will need 4 to 6 rolls of ASA/ISO 400 speed black and white film for this class. 24 exposures will be fine. I suggest:
- Illford HP5 400
- Kodak tri-x 400
- Kodak t-max 400
- Other 400 speed black and white films will be fine, we will just need to look up developing times for them
- NO C-41 FILM!!! THIS IS B&W FILM FOR COLOR PROCESSING, WE CAN NOT DEVELOP IT HERE.
PAPER:
8x10 paper has been provided for making contact sheets. You will need RC (Resin coated) photographic paper for this class (not fiber paper) to print your images. This again will need to come from a camera store, it needs to be paper for black and white darkroom use, not inkjet printers etc. Office supply stores and drug stores will not sell this. I suggest:
- Illford MGV Multicontrast RC paper
- Kodak Polycontrast RC Paper
- Others brands (arista, EFKE, Forte, etc. will work fine, we will just need to look up developing times for them
- 25+ sheets of 5x7 paper
WAYS TO SAVE:
If you buy in mass quantity you can save big! Share a larger quantity of paper with classmates to save. Also, if you order quick there are good deals to be had online and in catalogs!
