You can search flickr for examples for true b&w films like Ilford FP4 / HP5, Kodak Tri-X - and for some C41 b&w films like Ilford XP-2 or Kodak BW400CN, and see what you like.
I have seen very nice work using either, both can look very good.
Though I guess with the C41 ones it's not possible to get that rough, grainy look.
C41 is more convenient (and sometimes cheaper and faster) in terms of developing (if you don't do it yourself).

So here's the thing, and probably been discussed before...
but do I shoot in B&W and process and print/scan, or just shoot C41 film process/scan and then desaturate for B&W.
Pro's and Cons, Experiences, anything?
