How does this compare with Ilford films?  The last time I shot any of
Ilford's b&w c-41 the printer had a hard time adjusting their machinery to
achieve a white background.  The film is basically color c-41 without the
color.  Dave, can you give us the prices you paid for the various services
you mentioned?

BTW, how did the T400cn do in rendering shades of blue?  (Normal b&w film is
less sensitive to blue, so that a yellow filter is often used to improve the
look of say, scenes with clouds in a blue sky.)

In my thinking, the advantage of using a b&w film for slides is for
_avoiding_ the sepia tones and other color defects of aging viewcards.  If I
copy a viewcard for projection, I want to eliminate the ravages of time and
to maximize (by manipulating cropping, lighting, exposure, etc.) the image on
the slide.
