Recommendation for a B&W 400 speed film

from Bruce Karnopp (karnopp@umich.edu)
I am hoping to spend a fair amount of time and effort in B&W photography of landscapes. I am very fond of the 25,29, and the 47, and 47b filters. These filters have fairly aggressive factors. So if I use a 25 or 50 ASA film, I would have to set shutter speeds with a calendar! .... My plan is to use a 400 speed film. There are several of these - some new. I wonder if you might have a recommendation: KODAK TRI-X, AGFA 400, Ilford HP5, Delta 400, Fuji Neopan 400.

I use 6X6 and 6X9 cameras and I have a 23c enlarger wit a new Aristo Cold light head.

Any advice on a good film with which to start will be appreciated.

Thanks Bruce
