What do you mean by paper negatives? I know film negatives, so what is paper negative?

I mean taking photographic paper and loading it into a film holder and shooting it like film (except it has an ISO of around 6!)

Funny you should bring that up, I've been devouring this thread. Some really awesome work. (all over the site, in fact. These guys are really, really good!)

I have to use film sheets more enough first then i can think about photographic paper, but if i should give that a try, how can i use the photographic paper with LF then, is it same method or i need to do something different a bit? Any link or tutorial about it will be a good help.

Ilford HP5+
Kodak Portra (seems to be most popular one)
Kodak Ektar
Fuji Reala

Just some of the films I have tried and liked the results. (Not counting in the ones your picture)

Add Neopan Acros to that as well, Tri-X i can't swear by it but give it a try.

I think the yellow box at the back is TriX but I could be wrong.

I personally have got much better results from Superia 200, than Superia XTRA 400. Not sure on the reasoning, the 200 seems more forgiving and the blacks have more substance.

I plan to try soon,

PORTRA
Ilford HP5
Ektar

Wouldn't mind some Velvia 50 for some long exposure stuff.

Also, the results I have seen from Reala I wasn't heaps keen it. It seemed to have a quite narrow DR. Subjective of course depending on who developed etc. Also, this is a personal opinion!

I think you're right .

Personally I would try out some Portra and Ektar. Maybe some Velvia 50 if you want to venture into the world of slide film.

Color:
Porta for people photos.
Ektar or Reala for landscapes.
Fujicolor ProS 160 for general purpose.

B&W:
Fuji Acros (I use this the most)
Pan F+
Delta 400
Perceptol developer for most of my B&W.

do they make 35mm portra? for some reason i thought it was only 120

I have only tried one roll in 120 format. It was quite good in my opinion. Definitely something I will try again.

These are what I've been enjoying lately.

Fuji 400H
Fuji 800z
Portra 400
Portra 800
HP5
Ilford 3200 in specific situations

I need another b&w film...I'm interested in trying the Acros that Tony mentioned. I still miss Neopan 400 and 1600
