Hi, photography noob here. I'm trying out Black and White photography and am wondering if Process C-41 films could still be processed the same way as regular Black and White film.

What i meant was that is it possible to develop C-41 film using black & white chemicals.

nope, c-41 is c-41, you *can* however have it developed and cut at your local minilab (usually 1.50-3USD) and then make prints as you would with B&W film.

I've had luck with T400CN and I like it sometimes but I always go back to Tri-X.

every different brand/iso/kind of film needs to be developed differently.

Actually yes, you can dip a C-41 (B&W or colour, no difference) film into a classical B&W developer and get some sort of an image.

But it's really not worth it. The result will look like shit, even more than what pretentious E-6/C-41 crossprocessing trendwhores call "art". Just some washed-out greys and some contours here and there, salvageable neither by printing nor by scanning.

Try it if you're curious, but don't expect anything worth your time.
