Digital BW, The Print

Though I use a digital camera for stuff intended for the web, I 
prefer to use neg film for the snaps that will be printed: 35 mm and 
MF. Kodak 100UC, 400UC, Portra 800 and a few B&W films. Ektachrome 
320T (EPJ) is the only slide film that I use in any great quantity, 
usually pushed two. I scan using a Nikon 5000 and 9000. To get the 
maximum density range out of the negs I usually set the film type 
to 'positive' and invert with the RGB curve in Nikonscan - this is a 
simple and direct method that I have never heard of anyone else 
using, but I'm sure that a lot of people must use it.

For B&W I usually scan straight to greyscale, unless it was developed 
in a staining dev, in which case I'll scan in RGB and look at the 
channels.

Print size is normally 10 x 15 for 35 mm and 11 x 14 for MF.

Oh, and I use a Realist with 100UC or Portra 100T to produce 3.5x7 
stereocards on my R800.

Best,
Helen
