<<What's the best way to shoot black and white in bright mid-day light? I 
tried 
using Ilford Pan F ISO 50 in that situation (Rajastan)  recently and came 
away with much to much contrast and worse,  completely blocked shaddows. 
What's the best film to use in this situation?  What's the best exposure 
strategy?  How do you "pull" film? Is that a good way to go? Thanks for your 
help. Arthur.>>

Interested in shooting B+W slides, not negatives? Then check out Agfa Scala 
200x. The ideal film for such high-contrast subjects, where it is impossible 
to use color slide film. To shoot negatives, i would check Ilford XP2 400. 

Best regards
Uwe
