Digital BW, The Print

I have used XP1 in the past (when I still had a darkroom) and wasn't 
overly impressed compared to what I could do with large & medium 
format Tri-X but that was some years ago. I didn't really expect 
35mm to compete strongly with 4x5 and 6x9. Maybe that was just a 
self-fulfilling prophesy...

There is little chance I will ever set up a darkroom again and I 
have sold off my large and medium format gear so I am interested in 
what opinions are concerning the chromogenics, particularly Portra 
and T400CN. My intent would be to scan them to a digital image with 
my 4000ED. I have been using Fuji color print film for this purpose 
with no particular unhappiness but I wonder if the B&W C41 films 
might produce a bit better image for scanning. I can certainly do 
the experiment myself but I am just as lazy as the next fellow...

Thanks,

Roger
