I'm a black and white person too but working from a color neg can be similar
to making a black and white from a capture from a digital camera. That we've
done plenty of and it can be quite a nice experience
You filter on the fly later for maximum separation between the elements in
your image which you see need them.
I still have my spot meter and I'd do everything the same as when I used to
do it.
I do think that for every dollar they spent and black and white neg
technology then spent 1o grand on color neg and for decades.
They stuff just packs a lot of information is grainless and sharp as hell.

By the way I just read Edward Weston's effective ISO was 16
