the B&W, which i've only used once or twice nearly 20 years ago, is very 
different and in my opinion far more rewarding than the color stuff.  the 
color stuff  had some sort of tesselation similar to a color TV screen.  the 
pan has a pronounced but pleasant "analog" grain.  i still have the processor 
in my basement somewhere but didn't even know that they still made the film.

if i can find them, i'll scan in some of my polapans.
