Potential customer tell us that many wedding photographer offer B&W prints from negative film. They also tell us that 'even they' can tell the difference between our real B&W (we use Tmax 100 and 400 often pushed to 800) and prints from color negatives. If B&W is just a photo studio gimmick they did a really great job because we certainly benefit from it.

(slightly OT) Friends, My good friends and I had strong black Expresso. With sufficient caffeine in our bloodstream, we then spoke about everything photography. I said that photography is coming round one full circle with good ol' B&W coming back in vogue. We might even see labs take in your Tri-X for D&P. I am seeing more wedding albums with a spread of monochrome in addition to colour. He thinks it is just a sales gimmick by photo studios. What is your opinion? Dan K.
