I haven't tried the Ilford stuff in about 4 years. Didn't like it, seemed relatively grainy, plus Wheaty warned us about the soft emulsion.
I've been shotting gobs of T400CN lately. In fact today, was the first wedding I ever shot without shooting any real b+w. T400CN has more exposure latitude than PortraBW or Select BW. I regularly shoot it at 800. -- Thomas Van Veen Photography www.bigdayphoto.com 301-758-3085 > -----Original Message----- > From: Mark Roberts [mailto:mark@;robertstech.com] > Sent: Saturday, November 02, 2002 3:20 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Chromogenic B&W > > > Although I much prefer the look of traditional B&W film, > I'd been told that the > chromogenic stuff scans much better so I tried out a roll > of Kodak T400CN > (photos at http://www.robertstech.com/frick.htm if anyone's > interested).
