I have not used B&W film for several years. [Part of this thread is to answer the question: "Should I?"] I mainly shoot color (negative), and convert to monochrome in Photoshop using the channel mixer. However, dedicated B&W films are still manufactured, and may offer benefits in grain, sharpness, dynamic range, low-light capability, etc. Do folks here have any opinions?  [Silly question...] I know I can read the manufacturer's Marketing sheets, but somehow that is not as comforting as hearing from actual experience.
