Old tech films do have more 'latitude' but the new films are finer grained, and more finicky re either over or under exposure as well as development times. But, the new TMax-2 is such a superb all round film I encourage everyone to try it. Develop in Xtol. Prints very well in the wet or digital DR.
C-41 films are superb as well but harder to print in a wet DR. Ilford is the best if you print your own. XP-2 and Kodak Portra B&W both scan very well and have a huge over exposure latitude. Set your ISO at 250 for all around use.
