RE: [Digital BW] B&W Films and Scanning

2002-05-16 by Jim Panzer

Hey Scott, I have pretty good luck with and of the Ilford films (I like
F-Pan 50) with d-76 and my Nikon scanner.  I have recently started using
T-Max and developing in the RS Developer and replenisher (not used as
replenisher), and getting nice skin tones.  In fact I like the Ilford films
for landscapes and objects and the T-Max for people, both scan really well
for me and print nice too.  Hope this helps.

Subject: [Digital BW] B&W Films and Scanning


Hello all,
    Does anyone have experiences good or bad with particular black 
and white films.  I shoot 35mm and have been using Kodak's C-41 
chromogenic BW film and my Canon 4000 dpi scanner.  I recently 
purchased tanks, chemistry and equipment to begin developing true BW 
film (Kodak or Ilford).  I was hoping to improve the contrast and 
quality of my images.  Of course, after my purchase, I have now read 
that the C-41 BW film perhaps scans better than true BW film.  Any 
advice would be appreciated as I have not used any of my new 
equipment or many rolls of film.  Thank you in advance.
                                Scott Michener
