Re: Do most of you still shoot b&w on film?

2004-02-16 by Mark Hahn

I am shooting more film than digital, but have no problems with 
digital b&w (curves and channel mixer).  Grain is a touchy issue as 
it often adds to the aesthetic appeal of some images... grain free 
doesn't always mean better.  Since I often have mixed rolls of 
creative shots and family snapshots T400CN has become my prefered 
film as I can get a cheap stack of snaps and proofs and then get good 
scans for printing.
