Question: What do you use for the first roll!?
I just got my hands on a nice looking TLR and was wondering what people consider a good test roll of film!. In the fridge I have:
100 B+W
100 Transparency
400 B+W
400 Color print
and 800 color print
Which would you put through the camera first!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

The cheapest and the least likely you'll use in the future!. If you are testing, odds are you'll shoot away with not really worrying about the subject matter!.
I would prefer the 100 too, to see how sharp the lens is!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
First use the 100 black and white!.
Run it through various shutter speeds and f-stops and take notes!. Then 400 B&W!.
Then 400 color!.
Then 800 color!.
Finally the transperency!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
