Tri-X is a good choice since it's reasonably fast and tolerant of exposure. The grain isn't excessive. HP5+ from Ilford is another good choice. Stay away from t-grain films for a variety of reasons, until you feel confident in what you're doing. I'm also tempted to say "anything cheap!" since you'll learn the most by shooting lots of film. There's no substitute for practice.(posted 8785 days ago)
