Hi Jeff,

I have tried both the Kodak C41 and the Illford. I prefer the Ilford as 
it seems more like B&W and indeed the negs look B&W whereas the Kodak 
negs look redish. Anyway try both and experiment. It is nice to have the 
lab develop B&W at colour prices. I like B&W film but too lazy to 
develop myself and both the C41 offerings are decent.

I have read on the net suggestions of shooting the Ilford at 200 for 
better detail in shadow but have not tried myself. I can't say I am 
disappointed with results, so go for it. Mind you I am not that fussy, 
but the results look like film and not digital. If you want I would be 
happy to post some captures from both films but on the web and 
processing it may not present a significant degree of separation.

They both scan well I think but the Ilford I have heard is more 
sensitive to correct exposure.

Regards

Walter
