I work in a local one hour lab, and process quite a bit of the C41 B&W films. There are three available now, that I know of: Ilford's XP-2, Kodak's T400CN, and Kodak's Black & White+. I personally like the T400CN better. A problem that I do run into is the wide range of "color" that I get from one roll. The best I can figure is that the lighting changes and affects the results. Definately test a few rolls. Also, for B&W prints, true B&W, I would reccommend the XP2 over the Kodak. You will also need to either make the B&W prints yourself, or find a lab that does them. Most small labs do not have the paper or equipment for "true" B&W.(posted 9249 days ago)
