Christine,
I used some of the C41 B&W film way back and found that when it was
printed on regular colour paper the contrast was way too high. I could
take the same neg and print it myself on B&W paper and it would be just
fine. In the end I just regarded the prints from the processor as fist run
proofs for weeding out the obvious mistakes.

I bought Wendy's MX and had my first try out with some Kodak BW400CN film
which is processed in color negative chemistry--Process C-41. As you can
see, there's a greenish tint to the image here of Darrel. I had these
developed at my neighborhood Walgreens, and the prints were printed on
Fujicolor Crystal Archive paper. I think this was taken with the 50mm
lens 2.0 that came with the camera. At some point I changed to the FA
50mm f1.4, but I can't remember when--it's back to writing shooting info
down in a little pocket notebook. Oh, fun :-). Just spent some time
looking for a lab. I found D'ore Photo Service, which is fairly close
by.

I have to get back on the construction site for some shooting next
week--that is, if I can. There's a strike on and construction has
stopped. I thought I'd take the MX with me and shoot a roll along with
digital. Shooting film after digital has been discombobulating in a
hysterically funny way--though I have learned that I really should get
the Katz Eye for my digital cameras. I'm kind of chicken about
installing it though.
Thanks, Wendy! Very happy to have the MX.
Big cheers, Christine
