The best in the market i've ever tried is Ilford black and white film. They cost more but the quality is there. Nowadays, shooting using film is just perfect, while this photography thingy keep reversing back to its basic.
If you are not getting any points of what i am trying to say here, please if you got chances of using film cameras, do study and do some research on the models of cameras. This will widen your knowledge field, principle of lenses, and understand how oldtimers working with this manual camera.
I read about war photographers, how they develop images from negatives and complete as photos. In the condition of war, tensed atmosphere how do they survive and ensure they got the desired moment. Do you think they have LCD to view the photos and simply delete it if not reaching the desired standards.
I am learning, I was a newbie 4 years back and continue to be a learner. Every time i met and sit down with amazing people with awesome photo portfolios, i feel i have nothing to offer much in this industry. That's why i don't really agree (mind me, personal opinion) with some people, who got huge amount of money and simply jump into photography without attending any classes or courses. I do agree, photography requires no certificates or doctorates, but it needs sacrifices of time, money and energy. If one got the academic background in this field, it's an advantage.
A friend, A master, A mentor once told me :
1. If you wanna be someone, or idol, look at what he had done.
2. If love something, you need to sacrifice time, money etc
3. There's no shortcut or taking people for granted
4. Treat yourself like an empty glass, always ready to be filled of water.
5. Be humble, don't stubborn
6. Dare to make mistakes, learn from it
7. Try and fail but you are not dead yet, you are dead when you are quitting
8. Self learning, don't wait for people to teach you
9. Invest in equipment, there's a reason why the lenses, camera bodies are damn crazy expensive, because of the QUALITY it holds.
10. After all, you yourself will determine where is your destination in your dreams.
