[QUOTE="dt2003au, post: 58668, member: 6841"] What the others said... plus, it is/was simpler (and cheaper) to self-develop B&W than colour. Personally I never got into self-developing colour, maybe because it was expensive when I was a beginner (a long time ago). (And now it is again!) That's more of a practical consideration (I strongly prefer self-developing, when possible)... but the strength and the intensity of B&W imaging is the main reason I mostly use B&W film. I also do a lot of B&W from digital. I have nothing against colour (film), in fact at the moment I'm finishing a roll of colour film in my FE-2. However, I find that doing artistic colour photography [I]well[/I] is a challenge (film or digital). It is too much like reality. ;) [/QUOTE]
