Subject: [Leica] Kodak B&W 400 film

I just received several rolls of Kodak "Black and White 400" C-41 film from 
a local lab, in compensation for a recent Anomalous Processing 
Experience.  They only had consumer film, so when I mentioned T400CN, they 
offered Black and White 400 as being pretty much equivalent.  I vaguely 
recall it being mentioned favorably here, so I accepted it.

Has anyone here used both Black and White 400 and either T400CN or Portra 
400 B&W?  Is B&W 400 similar in  characteristics to the latter pro films, 
or is it significantly different in some way?  At a glance, the pertinent 
info on the Kodak data sheets looked pretty similar if not identical.

Yes, I know both the old pro films are now discontinued and replaced with 
Yet Another Film, Professional BW400CN.  This week, anyway.

Thanks,
--Peter
