Ilford PANF+ 50 35mm

The 36 exposures per roll give me plenty of chances to nail the fine detail I chase, and the grain is basically invisible even when I crop hard into shadow areas. It's slow, sure, but for a tripod shot of a brick facade, nothing beats this.

I’ve started using this roll for scanning old negatives, and the extra fine detail is amazing—much sharper than I expected from a 50-speed film. It handles bright daylight perfectly without any grain getting in the way.

Shooting this roll at box speed in bright daylight gave me negatives with incredible micro-contrast, and the 36 exposures lasted all day without me worrying about wasting frames. The lack of grain is genuinely striking when you print at any size, though you do need a tripod for anything moving.
