You can also get much better results by scanning the negative and printing
as BW on your 2880. To my mind, lab printing of C41 is always
unsatisfactory.

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
