Digital BW, The Print

Paul and others, greetings.

With all the discussion about 100 films for scanning to reduce grain, I'm 
wondering about your views on the chromogenic films, like Portra 400BW, as a film 
for scanning without grain.   Until recently, I've resisted it.   But it's so 
easy to have developed commercially that I've shot a number of rolls over the 
past month in my Rolleiflex, and had the one-hour Kodak shop on my block 
process it.   I've been pleasantly surprised by the results -- striking contrast 
and detail, no visible grain, and no reciprocity failure issues.   And very 
easy to scan as well.   Am I missing something?   Why should I not like this 
film?

Sanders McNew.
