I'm looking for recommendations for black and white film that exhibits the qualities I like in Portra 160. Specifically, the smoother tonalities and contrast that I get when using Portra. The "flat" look with good shadow detail that seems so easy to achieve on the color side with Portra. I've read some comments that pulling Delta 100 1-stop will help to achieve these particular qualities, but I wanted to get some comments from this group before making a decision. While I enjoy experimenting with different films, my humble budget does not allow as much experimentation as I'd like. Thus this inquiry.
Thanks in advance.
