I think the fine-grain B&W film was Kodak Panatomic. Speed ASA 25.
Plus X had speed 100, Tri-X speed 400.
I like shooting with B&W but wanted large grain film to give an illusion
of pointillism. I used Kodak 2475 film with speed 1600, pushed to
3200. It was intended for police surveillance. It had a sensitivity to
infrared light, so that portraits of people tended to show skin
blemishes. Worked well for portraits of old people since the portrait
was imbued with the concept of old age.
I can't remember the name of a Kodak color slide film that rendered
false colors. For example, a blue sky would appear reddish pink, and
nearly every color was replaced by a greatly differing color. This was
way before Photoshop which can do the same thing to a normal image.
My daughter three years ago took photography in high school. There they
still use B&W film in cameras and learn to develop and print in a
darkroom. I loaned her my Pentax Super ME to take the class.
