I don't think Ilford handles high contrast scenes very well (blown highlights). The Kodak film has nicer grays. The zone system choice would be Kodak. But I think he should try one roll of each and see what fits his style the best (I avoid bright sunlight like a vampire). (2) print appearance? Depends on who is on the machine. The nice people at Sam's Club used to fiddle with the dials to make it purely monochrome. The less nice people at Wolf gave me something very badly tinted and unviewable.

My son has asked me for B+W film for his M7. I suggested the chromogenic films as that allows him to get processing and prints made easily..... Having said that, what is the practical difference between Ilford and Kodak? Is one film preferred over the other for minilab operation? What do you have to ask the minilab operators to get B+W prints? Are they B+W or Purply-black and white?
