that's pretty interesting-can you suggest more information on how to do it?
what kind of scanner do you use?

I have used a few different C41 B&W films and as others have mentioned the results can be quite good, but at a far greater cost (both for film and developing) than traditional B&W film.
I generally shoot Agfa APX100 which cost me less than CA$3 a roll, and develop at myself using a Patterson daylight tank. I use Rodinal as my developer and I estimate it costs approx CA$0.50 to develop a roll. I scan in my negatives and print on my Epson 880 inkjet printer.
You might want to try developing at home, its really quite easy, and the rush at seeing the results when you first remove the film from the tank is wonderful.
I picked up my daylight tank (with 2 reels) on ebay for approx the same cost as having one roll of C41 B&W film processed.
