A few years ago, a lab manager gave me this advice:  Use either Kodak Supra 
400 or Fujicolor Press 400.  Shoot it at IE 200 when there was plently of 
light, and IE 400 when I needed the speed.  I chose Kodak Supra, and 
happily used it this way up until recently, when it was discontinued.  Now 
I'm trying Fuji Press 400.

I've also loved the now discontinued Kodak T400CN (chromogenic B&W), shot 
the same way.  I suspect its successor, Professional BW400CN will respond 
similarly.

While we're on the subject:   I would love to have a quick-reference list 
of the equivalent professional and consumer films.  As in, Fujak 
PhligistonChrome Professional is the same as their OxyChrome 100, just 
ripened and refrigerated.

Also, is there a downloadable guide to the abbreviations used for some 
films?  Sometimes I get lost when people start talking about NPH and NPZ 
and and all the other TLAs.
