On a recent vacation I decided to take only color film and one camera.

A IIf with Elmar 3,5/50 and Kodak film, some cheap Kodak Gold 200 and a bit of Portra 400.

After getting the prints back from a high street shop I must say that the kodak Gold gave very pleasing results.Normally I shoot mostly Black and White but I wanted to see what I could get with color film and then if desired convert to monochrome after scanning.

Bottom line is that I am surprised at just how well the results are coming out.Added to the fact that I can dump all my films into the same shop and then post process how I like.

Is anybody else doing this or do you separate color for color and B&W for B&W?

Also what are the potential downsides of this workflow in your opinion....am genuinely interested to hear peoples point of view.

Bear in mind that I only do digital printing from scans and not wet printing anymore.

thoughts anyone?

Andy
