The color cast is determined by exposure, paper choice and operator skill. Portra BW is meant to be printed on color paper - it's fine on b+w though the print times are a little longer than with T400CN, which itself has pretty long print times as compared to normal b+w.
It just depends on what you'll use it for. If you're going to print them yourself via enlarger, use T400CN. If you want nicer proofs use Portra and hope your lab knows what it's doing. tv > -----Original Message----- > From: Rob Brigham [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2003 4:33 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: Kodak Portra 400 BW > > > Its nice enough.
