I am by no means an expert on B&W, as soon as I could afford colour I changed over and have only used a handful of B&W films since. I have not printed B&W since I was using it for photographing flow visualisation patterns on wind tunnel models, probably not since 1982 or so. My knowledge of B&W photography does not really qualify me to be any judge, sorry.

I'm not a total Luddite, yet. :-) And, I know, for me, there are some requirements for shooting and printing color that I don't face when dealing with b&w. I know I can"get away" with a degree less sharpness and resolution when shooting andprinting b&w. Color, IME, is more demanding in order to get what I would regard as an acceptable print.
