Analog film photography and cameras

I want to start doing it at home as well, just curious as to which B&W films are suitable for the job as C-41 seems to be far to tricky to do when first starting out. Also where I can get chemicals from?

Pretty much all B&W films are able to be processed at home. I would recommend starting with something like HP5 (cheap and lovely tones) or TRI-X (Much more gritty like the old Journo's used to use)

The best guide I found when starting up was this one;
