film for medium format scanning

2005-12-14 by joshscapes

Hello all,

I am a b&w landscape photographer who works with a Pentax 67.  I 
have been using Tmax 100 film in 120 size ever since I got into 
scanning my negatives.  I have gotten pretty good results, but am 
eager to try something else to see if I personally like the look 
better than TMax.  My question is this:

In your opinion, what is the best film to use in a medium format 
camera that is going to be scanned, worked in Photoshop CS, and then 
printed with MIS inks on an Epson 2200 printer?

Please answer with whatever you think.  I am open to all ideas about 
using any type of film (traditional, C-41 b&w, color transparency, 
color neg..ect). Being a landscape photographer, I obviously want a 
film that give superb contrast, detail, and sharpness.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions:

Always grateful for your knowledge.
