SV: taking the plunge to B&W, need advice

[Jens Bladt]

Hi
Good luck Erwin!
Beware of faulty contrast correction caused by XP2 or similar films, as they
tend to get a pinkish cast, which makes them work something like
contrast-control filters (like Ilford Multigrade).. Ask for a film type with
no or little purple cast...! I use Ilford Multigrade papers/filters - the
results are so brilliant I never considered to use anything else. You can of
cource get traditional film developed at the lab too...!
Best Regards
Jens
