False premise alert! I see 14stop range in many; any of the Fuji Superia
films have quite extraordinary range.
And since chromogenic BW

It's true that high quality silver-based BW film, when properly exposed and

that it is not a classic wet darkroom film, since it's normally developed
by a one-hour type color lab. However, based on my experience with a

The BW CN films, why use them? If you want BW images, shoot with color
neg. That way you can use channel blending in Photoshop to get the BW
manipulations.

Personally, I agree, I almost never shoot BW of any sort anymore,
because I find that
I've had very poor results scanning TMax 400 and Ilford Delta 400 with
my SS4000. Terrible grain so NeatImage was a must.
You have to scan at the highest resolution of the scanner, anything
else, you get the clumping grain.
I've had good results scanning T400 CN with a Minolta Scan Dual II.

They're sharper. Look like MF when scanned, but expect to have to always
edit curves to get some midtone contrast - they're such long range that
they look disgustingly flat otherwise.
