There is only so much you can pack in to 35mm of film.

Back in the 80's Kodak came up with a B&W film that had extremely small grains and gave one of the sharpest images available.

But if you wanted truly good images, you needed to go to a larger format. 120mm for example. Or plates.

Don't get me wrong. I grew up using a Nikon F. and beyond. (All Nikon)

I haven't done any black and white work in years, but I bet I can still unload canister and put it in the can for processing in under 2 minutes. either in a bag or in a darkroom.
