film & filter

Mr. Venneman, I think Agfa still makes a 25 ASA film, in B&W, that will have much less grain than anything else you can find. The less grain, the better the portrait. As to filters: I've only shot a few weddings and never used filters. When printing the pix I found that if I had a problem with the white-on-white wedding dress not showing all the patterns--------I would put a 6 oz. drinking glass in a pan of hot water, (for about 5 minutes before using), and -- VERY GENTLY -- rub a cotton ball saturated in the hot developer solution ONLY ON THE AREAS OF THE DRESS that you wish to show in the photo. This will bring out the dress and your normal developement will ensure the facial tones are sufficient. Hope this helps. David Huffman
