My delema now is whether to use black and white film that I would develop myself or use color negative film like Kodak 160 NC. Of course I want to use negative film to get the benefits of greater dynamic range. However, I only have a dedicated film scanner and have no idea how I would make a contact sheet. I'm curious how other digital bw photographers work with negative film. No I don't own a flatbed scanner. Also if I am not working in the traditional darkroom would I gain anything from using a fine grained bw film vs using color negative film other than saving $$ on processing.
