I completely agree. I have my own darkroom at home, and at this moment there are about
15 films "real" B&W films waiting to be developed. Not such a problem with TCN.
In relation with the subjects, I find that the cromogenic films (C-41 compatible) work
better with "modern" subjects/ambience. It has an extrange "plastic" feeling and
matches perfectly with Ilford Cooltone RC Pearl.
For "classy" subjects I find films like Delta 400 and TMAX 100 much better. That's of
course not a rule, but just a "guideline" and I don't follow it anyway :-)
To be a 400 film, the grain is amazingly fine almost not present. That makes them an
ideal film for macro shots as well. (here is an example of that:
