RE: [Digital BW] your favorite film

I find ICE very useful also, and so I have started using more of the
chromogenic films like Porta BW 400.  I seem to get really good results and
I don't have to develop it at home which I find to be a real pleasure.

Well,I've been making a lot of tests on this recently,concerning BW film X
Color film for BW printing. What I have to say after extensive comparison
using TMax,Delta,Provia and EVS,is that if you shoot in ideal light
conditions,you'll find not relevant differences,and the use of color film
gives you the advantage of ICE,which can be extremely time saving. I use a
Nikon 4000ED. The only thing this scanner doesn´t like very much is grainy
film. So,I now tend to use color slide,fine grained and use BW less and
less.
When shooting on harsh light or with too  much light difference ,then I
still may use Delta...
