=> What I don't get --since this thread has progressed into the 
=PLI-- is 
=> why the worry, worry about getting such fine grain --then scanning 
=> B&W?  If you're making it digital, why not shoot it digital?
=>
=> When I shoot B&W film, it's for darkroom prints.
=
=I not clear what you are saying, but I do know that you can't 
=get the same results shooting digital that you can scanning 
=film for B&W.  I shoot medium format, and get outstanding 
=results scanning my film and printing digitally, better than 
=darkroom prints.
