Re: C-41 Process Black and White

[Bill Owens]

The Fuji Frontier 375 that we use has a setting for both color and B&W film 
(C41 that is)  If we forget to change the film type from color to B&W, we 
end up with prints with a blue tint.  If we use the proper setting, prints 
are actually, really, surprisingly, real B&W.

To those BW purists out there, the PX, TX, TM folks:
(You KNOW who you are!)  ;-)
Is the C41 BW film even worth a try?
I understand a mini lab will probably give me off color prints.
How does it behave when printing  yourself, or at a good lab?
Is the tonality and sharpness any good?
Any special tricks? (Over/Under expose, filters, etc.)
