As I have stated in my other posting today I have used color positive to make enlaraged
B/W negs.
You can find info on this in The Kodak book "Copying and Duplicating in Black and
White and Color.
It says the best film to use is Kodak Super-xx Pan Film. This is great but I believe Kodak
has now said goodbuy to this film. I read that Bugger film is now making a film like it.
I have had good results with Tmax100.

A student of mine asked a question (noted below). I've a few ideas but
was wondering if anyone has anything better.
 
> Recently I saw some very good B/W prints of the Tibetan landscapes. The photographer names.Shong Gangming. He used
> Kodak E100S film instead of B/W films. I'd like to know how to make the same result as B/W film by using a color one?
> If color film can make prints as good as the B/w film, why bother using the color film solely? Do you have any idea?
 
Thanks,
