I taught a black and white workshop last year, and one of the people had some sort of Canon camera that refused absolutely to recognize her roll of AgfaPan, but had no problems with a roll of T-400CN that I had in my bag. This camera used an IR device for detecting the film advance length. I surmised at the time that the black and white film was IR transparent, and so the camera couldn't see the sprocket holes.
