First B&W film?

Mine was tri-x 400. One of the negs from that roll, I still rather like. I don't think it's nessicerilly that great, but it was my first B&W photo that I really liked.

Plus-X back in the mid 1970's.
 
I have no idea. After all, it was 40 years ago...
 
Verichrome Pan

Plus-X, in college. We weren't allowed to use anything else until we had mastered that one. Contact sheets were checked!
 
If my brain is working right (big if) my first was FP4 I think just before FP4+
 
Verichrome Pan -- I think -- it might have been just plain Verichrome. I'm not sure when that transition occurred, but my first few shots were probably in the late 1940s (gulp!)

Verichrome Pan - in 616 size probably.

(the camera was 22 years older than I was ).

Same here. I shot one film for a school project, then had about a fifteen year hiatus before I shot another roll of b&w film again.
I still have that roll of film, and plan on making some prints from it soon.

It was 35mm, developed in D76 stock.

I used to help my father out in his camera shop back in the U.K. Unfortunately I well remember selling FP3 and HP3. Time flies when you're having fun!!!

I couldn't remember what the first B&W film I used was, so I checked... It was HP5 Developed in Microphen back in February 1983 and was the 2nd 35mm film that I ran through my first 35mm SLR: a Fujica STX-1. The very first film, if your intereseted, was an Ilford colour slide film, but I can't remember what it was called.

Tri-X 400. Developed in D76. I know this for a fact, 'cos it was only about 18 months ago, and I fell in love with 'analogue' immediately.

(I'm one of those converts the other way - digital to film. If it helps, I haven't picked up a digital camera in about 12 months.)
 
T Max 400 in D76 1:1 developed for 12 minutes agitated 10 seconds every minute. It was 1999. I even remember the first few exposures.
 
Verhichrome Pan, in 616 size roll film with a little Ansco camera my mother gave me when I was 11 or 12 and wanted a camera to take pictures with.
Still have the camera, but no idea what happened to the negatives!

Agfa APX 400
 
TriX 400 dev'd in D76, 35mm
 
FP4 back in the early 70's

And seeing as I just found a 100' unopened roll in my garage that I must of bought in the mid 80's
but lost track of when I moved; I guess I can say it is my latest film too.
