At first I was thinking I'd recommend Fujipress 400. Good all around
press-type film, sort of tri-xy in concept.
Then I thought "Hey, I do this all the time with wedding albums".
My advice is to forget about trying to match a color film to a b+w. You
get impact when your pictures are beautiful. Period. The color pics
should match the color pics, and the b+w should match the b+w, but
beyond that, just make good pics.
Use the film you think will best portray the subject. (Supra?)
