    ilford hp5
    400asa
    more contrast and since Holga is a dark lady 400asa works perfect (well, in my opinion, of course)

    I like Ilford HP5 400 too but I will choose Kodak TMax-400 or Kodak Tri-x over it anytime. Love the contrast in this shot though.

    nehme gerne den Ilford XP2, ähnlich wie der Kodak BW400cn für Kleinbild

    I agree with @grazie about the TMax 400 for 120 b&w.

    @trw @mapix @knipsomat @le_ors thanks for your input. i already had the HP5 and it was OK i think. - but i have to admit i´m not experienced at all with b/w. so it just wasn´t like "wow, great contrast, great film…!" or so. around the corner of my office is a highly recommended shop for films so i´ll go there to get me a foma and a tri-x. as i´ll be travelling this week-end i´ll probably quickly shot each roll there have a look at the results end of next week. btw: i do think that b/w and holga are not the best combination. sharpness is so important with b/w and so…

    @bloomchen we'll be waiting those results, I'm with you, I prefer Holga with some slide/colour negative film, but experimenting is always the answer maybe we can finally get some nice results from any b/w film!

    tri-x 400 is my favorite :)

Berlin

Country/Region: Germany
Berlin

If you’re into art, music, and everything a little offbeat, Berlin is your playground. The city is packed with creativity – from massive murals and pop-up galleries to underground exhibitions in abandoned buildings. Every neighborhood has its own flavor, with Kreuzberg and Neukölln leading the charge in artsy cool. And when the sun goes down? Berlin turns into one of the best party cities on the planet. Legendary clubs, secret bars, experimental performances – it’s a nonstop celebration of freedom and expression. In Berlin, art doesn’t just hang on walls – it spills into the streets and onto the dance floor.
