This is all theory from reading, not actual use nor tests.(posted 8247 days ago)The books say that film is most sensitive to light if it is developed right after exposure. Higher speed films seem more subject to this effect.
If you're looking to do fine art or other critical work, it might matter. For shapshot work, you probably would not notice the difference with normal speed films.
Negatives made on standard films probably have a longer life than C- 41 types, because the resulting images on C-41 are dyes rather than metal based.
People who frequently shoot B&W use standard films, I suspect. C-41 reportedly show grain to a lesser effect, as the dyes mask it. Prints from a commercial lab using C-41 B&W materials are likely to come back with a color cast, unless custom prints are made.
That said, TMax films require critical processing and fine tuning of your approach. They aren't the best for casual use. Traditional films like Tri-X, Plus-X, HP5+, FP4+, Agfapan, etc., are more tolerant of minor processing variations.
