Recently I posted an article requesting film suggestions for 35mm twilightlandscapes in both B&W and color. Following are the only two responses I have received, any others would be greatly appreciated.
< Response #1:
< If you like Kodachrome, use Kodachrome 25. You'll need a tripod anyway,
< probably, and K25 has much kinder reciprocity characteristics -- with long
< exposures (1/10 of a second or more), K64 goes greenish, but K25 doesn't.

< Response #2:
< You didn't mention what format you're using so I'll assume that it's 35mm.
< In thinking of doing b/w landscapes it's important to remember that Ansel
< used mainly an 8x10 view camera. His smallest format for landscape was the
< 6x6 Hasselblad. So sharpness and lack of grain will be very important in< choice of film for using in a 35mm camera. There are really only 2 choices:
< Tmax 100 and Agfapan 25. I've not used the Agfapan. Tmax 100 will give you
< reasonably sharp and grain-free enlargements up to 8x10. It'll go to 11x14
< with marginally acceptable sharpness and noticible, but not too bad grain.
< I'd suggest using D76 or ID11+ developer instead of Tmax developer if you
< do your own developing/printing: Tmax developer gives less sharpness and
< mushy grain which detracts from the impression of sharpness.
