Panchromatic continuous tone film is a better choice, but don't totally give
up on lith film. I've successfully made enlarged negatives on lith film
from 35mm transparencies. Using a relatively flat transparency helps a lot,
but more important is fine tuning exposure and development to control
contrast. I've had good results using Dr. Beers print developer, POTA,
Bromophen, and Soemarko LC1. Lith film has its limitations, e.g. red tones
in the original will record as very dark, but it's relatively cheap and
readily available in large sizes.
