After 30 years of not smelling like photo chemicals, it's time to try  
my hand at B&W processing again.  Not set up for prints, but can do  
film.

Requests:

Other than the old standby Tri-X, what other B&W process films are  
good and pushable for available light? Have a roll of T-max 3200 to  
try, but have read that it's not really good at 3200.  Have D-76, but  
will I need to consider Accufine/Diafine?

I have in my pile of old equipment, an Agfa Arcus II and another  
older, slower Mac g4 with a scsi card.  Can I scan negatives with the  
Arcus?  If not, does anyone have a cheapish way to scan from 35mm B&W  
negs?

Thanks!
