Most recent of my few outings with the Intrepid! Coming to terms with 4x5 I think.

Oh absolutely you don’t need fine grain on 4x5. Extra speed, OTOH, it’s always welcome.

BW400CN was a black and white C41 film. It was particularly smooth, and boasted the wide latitude of color negatives allowing you not to worry too much with exposure. Made me feel like I was shooting 120 or bigger, that’s how smooth that grain was. Creamy, dreamy, and silvery.
