Panny Camera - panny tape. Panny PQ or MQ. I use MQ. Just don't mix brands. If you have been using another brand (especially Sony), run a cleaner tape thru your cam for 10-12 seconds before switching to Panny. Lubricants are different and can cause long term buildup on heads if you mix them. If you want more info, do a search, thsi question comes up alot in various forums.

I can second that.. although you should not overdo with the clening tape since it causes your heads to wear off.. Better stick to one brand!
