I thought the whole point of B&W film was that you could pick the film, exposure, developer and development to give you the range, tonality, grain and sharpness you wanted.(posted 8647 days ago)Chromogenic "one size fits all", "standard C41 process" films would seem to be the equivalent of photographic "fast food". Some people, however, like Big Macs, and if you just want a print that isn't color, there's nothing wrong with using chromogenic B&W film.
