I don't know which Ilford you tried Albert, but I use FP4 (ISO125,
pushable to 400) and HP5 (ISO400) with success.  I also like Fuji
Neopan 400.

I cannot think why you would print TMax onto colour paper....

I'm looking for a good B&W film that ISO400.  I've tried the Ilford,
wasn't that happy with it.  Kodak TMax400 is not bad, but printed on
color paper, you get green or magenta people, and also, I figure if
I am going to go B&W, might as well go B&W...

So aside from those two, anything you can suggest as far as BW film?

On another note, people use point and shoots so often, that they see
my OM and they say "oh, a REAL camera!"  and with ISO400 film, I can
take indoor pics with my 50mm/f1.8 without a flash, and still get
great results.  Heck, I use 100 speed film, and still get great
results without a flash indoors.  They are amazed...  My friend has
a Minolta (Manual) and he used my OM for the first time yesterday,
and was amazed at the compactness and ease of use...
