This is something I've also considered. If you're going to scan in the images, other than ease of development, what advantages are there to using B&W film? It seems to me like if I shoot with color, I can use Photoshop to convert the image to black and white. In fact, I can shoot without any filters on my lens, and then adjust the tonality by color channel in Photoshop so that the end effect is as if I had used a color filter on the lens, except I don't lose any light. This is complete speculation, though. I don't have a scanner (yet). So I haven't tried this, but it seems like it would work. What's wrong with my thinking? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send online invitations with Yahoo! Invites. http://invites.yahoo.com
