Chromogenic film has beaucoup latitude (esp. toward overexposure). You can
bracket over several stops, and the prints (machine prints, even) will look
pretty much identical. This is true for B&W chromogenics as well as color.
Real B&W film OTOH is far less forgiving. I think that if you run some
color slide film through your camera, you'll find that the exposure results
mirror your B&W negative experiences rather than the color print results.
