Dan,(posted 8587 days ago)When I started I used Arista Film, Chemistry, and Paper from Freestyle Camera.
The cost allowed me to experiment, and it closly mimics Ilfords Film, Chemistry, and paper. As I mastered the basics, I tried other films, comparing them to what I was able to accomplish with the Arista Brand.
I now use Ilford, and I am quite happy with it, I was happier with the results of their 3200 speed film for sports, and use 5+ as my regular film. I shoot a lot of sports, so this is what I found to be both economical and produce the results I was looking for.
Having good luck with them, I would recomend them.
