I think the C-41 black and white films are more panchromatic (?) than regular black and white films. Their colour response is more even. Black and white films tend to be a bit more blue sensitive. I have noticed that filters seem to have a stronger effect with the chromogenic films. William Robb - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
