Re: Demise of film

Not sarcastically, I have the following question in light of this
discussion. We are planning a trip with two other couples. Since I am a
platinum/palladium printer, I would normally take my 8x10 with me. However,
having looked at the itinerary and having some regard for the time it takes
to use that thing, I have decided only to take my medium format rangefinder.
I expect it to do dual duty - to the extent I want color, use it for that
and to the extent that I want to print pt/pd, digitally enlarge its output
using either Dan Burkholder's or Mark Nelson's method to make enlarged
negatives.

What advice does anyone have with regard to filmstock? Some time ago, Rob
Steinberg was making enlarged negs for his albumen prints from C-41 color
negative film. Should I use that or chrome film? Any thoughts? My
rangefinder does not have interchangeable backs and I am reluctant to take
more than one film stock with me. Thanks in advance. Jim
