Which Ilford 400? as I recall there are at least 3, HP5, Delta 400, and XP-2.
Personally, if you are going to scan it anyway, I don't know that I would even
use a B&w film. Use your favorite color (the Superia) and grey scale it. B&W
films come into their own when you shoot the film and process and print it
yourself IMHO.
OK, now that I got that out of my ssytem... If you watn finer grain Kodak Tmax
400 has a finer grain than most other 400 ASA B&W films. If the speed is not
needed The Iford Delta 100 or Kodak Tmax 100 are very fine grained. If you
want a more 'traditional' B&W film with fine grain the Ilford FP4 125 or Kodak
Plus-X 125
Speaking of B&W films, anybody tried the new Ilford Delta 400 Pro film?
