Boxes of 200 rolls were left on people's doorsteps next to Tulane University, and a fellow who owns apartments in that area gave them to me. I get better results from it than I get from silver halide film. I think it's pretty similar to Portra. Scans well.

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.
