Take a look at http://www.ida.liu.se/~marho/photo/vpan/index.html for some
stuff shot on Ilford FP4 and developed in Rodinal. Especially the buildings
in frame two have an etched or charcoal look to them that I don't think
would be possible to do with XP-2, or colour film.
I believe there is merit to shooting B&W, doing your own developing, but
using digital techniques for final output (whether to web or prints).
