Response to Advice: BW film/dev combo in the 100 & 400 range?

If you are not against C41 process B&W films for some other reason I suggest you try them, especially Ilford XP2. It will scan better than any conventional 400 speed film. XP2 can capture more scene range than any other 35mm film that exists. It is extremely fine "grained". I shoot it at 320 for most uses.You can adjust tones in your scanning or image editing software. As to the "annoying sepia feel" I don't know what that feels (?) like. If you scan in grayscale you won't see any colors. Go shoot some XP2 and scan it and work with it. I've shot and scanned a bazillion rolls of XP2 and I assure you it is a VERY capable film.
