If you don't have tons of bucks to spend on panchromatic films, you can try
Duponts Graphic Arts Ortho Film.
I purchase my 12"x18" boxes of 100 sheets from The Paper Shoppe in Toronto,
on Finch Avenue West.
I develop it in Dektol either 1:6 or 1:8, and give it a photoflo bath when
done. It needs a red (not amber) safelight.
It's a little high contrast, so when shoot my 35mm (can you believe?) to
enlarge to this film, I intentionally shoot with flat light, try to keep my
contrast ratio down, and underdevelop my negs just a little - maybe 10%

ok
