      I've had success with lots of different films, each producing it's own unique character. Recently I've been using three different films on a regular basis, all eventually made into digital negs printed on Pictorico OHP . I scanned the 35mm negs on a Nikon 4000 neg scanner and the medium format on an Imacon Flextight and used Dan Burkholder's platinum curve for printing on an Epson 2000P. Right now I am printing on Crane's 90# Cover Paper, Natural White, Wove using Mike Ware's New Cyanotype formula.:

      1. Kodak Technical Pan exposed at ASA 25 developed in Technidol for 11 min. at 20 degrees celsius. I use this film for macro photos of flowers and fauna in natural light.
      2. Ilford Delta 3200 exposed at ASA 1600, 3200, and 6400 in Ilfotec DD-X for 8, 9.5, and 12.5 minutes respectively at 20 degrees celsius. I use this film when I'm feeling grainy...
      3. Fuji Neopan 400 exposed at ASA 800 developed in TMax Developer for 7.25 min at 20 degrees celsius. This is my all purpose film, producing a very nice balance of tonality and contrast suitable for producing digital negs, plus it's inexpensive.

      Hope this helps.

        I received the following off-list request for information about cyanotype negatives. Unfortunately my experience with cyanotype is rather limited and I don't feel competent to answer the question. If anyone would like to respond to this I will pass the information on to the interested party.

        Thanks.

        I'm interested in making cyanotypes and found your web article,
        "Ultraviolet Light Sources for Printing with the Alternative Processes"
         to be extremely thorough and very informative.
         
        If you would be so kind, I'd be very grateful if you would please
        pass along the name of the film (and ISO you prefer) that gives the
        longest density range in negatives; thus producing the widest
        tonality for optimal printing results.
         
        In addition, please include the following:
         
                       * name of film developer
         
                        * developing temperature
         
                        * developing time
         
                        * agitation requirements
         
        Thanking you in advance for your time and help.
