First, you must decide if the C-41 process required for chormogenic films is a convenience or a nusiance. Developing film at home is quite easy; you don't even need a darkroom, just a changing bag and a 'daylight'tank and an acurate thermometer and timer. That way you can get the contrast results you want. Personally, I find 'Black & White' films that use color dyes and chemistry a discomforting concept.(posted 9369 days ago)
