[filmscanners] RE: B&W from Color
My own experience is that if you want sharp B&W, use a sharp color
transparency film. I like the B&W images that can be extracted from Velvia
and Kodak's Elite Extra Chrome.
Learning to examine each color transparency for its hidden B&W has
introduced a new dimension to photography for me.

Subject: [filmscanners] Re: B&W from Color
And a related question: If you wanted to shoot in color, yet have the
flexibility of converting to B&W digitally (so you don't have to carry and
switch between films), what color film would work best, or would you use? I
particularly like Ilford XP2; is there a color negative film that would give
similar characteristics to XP2 when converted to B&W?
