The best idea might be to try the C41 films and see if you like the results. My wife has been using Ilford XP-2 on a project. I do the darkroom work for her and got tired of making small prints because she couldn't tell enough about 35mm contact sheets. I had her expose it a 250 and was really suprised at the quality of the prints. It seems to hold the highlights very well.(posted 8445 days ago)I have had a little trouble with scratches. I think someone on this forum mentioned that that was a problem with XP-2.
