Hey 'guys', I tried my hand on some b&w shots, but I can't say I'm very happy with them.....in fact, I think there's only shot in 2x 36 rolls that I'm happy with...grain and exposure wise. (this one) Well, I've tried T-Max 3200 and normal Kodak 100 b&w (the one that can be developed in c41 color machines), and especially the kodak wasn't very impressive. Shame cause I already bought 3 rolls of Kodak T400CN film :) But someone told me he always used the T-Max 3200 as a 1600 film, and I have to admit that it does look a bit overexposed as a 3200 film.... Does anyone have any advice on shooting b&w ? Also I'm curious to see what film you all use.... Thanks =)
