I myself have never exposed a frame of BW film in my life! Hard to believe, heh? Alas it is true. I have done photography professionally for 2 years now, but I have only had use for color transparencies. I would love to hear some advice from some accomplished BW photographers on how to start experimenting with BW with the M6. What films would you recommend for a beginner to get the feeling of BW photography? I won't be developing my own, just taking it to a good BW lab in town. What are the most popular BW films, and what are their characteristics? How is the BW slide film, Agfa Scala? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated......thanks!
