Response to Any body using Illford pan 400, T 400 cn

I've been very pleased with T400 cn, processed by my local minilab & printed by myself. The film is extremely sharp & fine grained when shot @ 400; shot at 100 or 200 actually makes the grain even finer. I haven't tried it, but I'm told it can be shot at 800, 1600, even 3200 with no change in developing, and the results are still very good. Grain does increase though. Having it printed on color paper at the minilab is usually kind of disappointing- the prints invariably have a brown or bluish tone. But that's ok, I enjoy printing but processing is boring. One thing to remember- this is really a color emulsion, and as such, is not archival like true B&W.
