 I totally agree - at one time, many years ago, I took both color and b&w
4x5 film out. Shot everything with both. Usually ended up with a bunch of
negs that reminder me of a flying car - not much of an airplane, and not
much of a car either!
Now, it's either a b&w (primarily) or color day, depending upon what the
plan is.
