You can get better results if you use BW film and the right filters while shooting ( although its certainly not a flexible as color to BW conversions )because BW films typically have finer grain and higher resolution than color films at the same film speed. jco

Because of the istD, I'm spoiled with having color info when I do conversions to black and white. So I was thinking I'll shoot some color negative film, and do the same conversion I do with the files from the istD. I don't know much about color film. What iso 400 film should I look for, and how do they compare to, say, Tri-X in terms of grain, dynamic range, etc?
