Hi Tom,
We used to have a guy on the list (Mike ) who shot lots of B&W film at the
University of Wyoming basketball games back in the early '80s. I remember
this because his enlargements (seems they were 16 X 20) were superb with
both the black and white players showing detail. I don't remember the
details of the developer he used, though. Maybe he is still reading this
and will offer some advice.

Thanks for the comments, but this is my third season shooting in this gym.
I sit right on the sidelines, so close I have to be sure my feet aren't over
the line. I use 800 film, as the 1600 is too grainy. I use the 85/2
primarily, as a nice compromise. I've used the 100/2 as well, but it is too
long. It is not a full-size gym, in fact it is pretty small. The 85/2
works when action is at the other end, while the 50/1.2 works great when the
action is at my end. I have a little room to crop, which is ok, since I
have a 5500x3500 pixel image to work with.
