Today Jared Polin, from FroKnowsPhoto.com takes a look at a few film options and how to select the right film type for you. As you know there’s so many different choices, you have to decide on what speed film, do you want black and white or colour, something with punch or neutral. There’s so many different choices and of course, whatever you decided on is what you would be stuck with for 24 or 36 frames before you could load something else.
