I have to do things like this to keep the wedding "fun." I never want to get locked into one way to do it, or it will become too much like work. :) As for the kind of film I use: Portra 400NC 120 in my ETRS, and Kodak consumer (sorry!) c-41 process b/w 400ASA in my Leica. They just look great, so I can't see switching! I'll experiment more soon, but it's working for now. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Gerry Walden Sent: Friday, November 15, 2002 6:28 AM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: RE: [Leica] Weddings in black and white...thoughts, please This may not be relevant in your market but the way I work is that I shoot everything in colour and it goes to a pro lab. The couple are advised that should they want any shots in b&w then we will print them from the colour negs, and if that is the case the pro lab does them for me at the same price as they do the colour reprints. It works well and leaves m none of the printing work to worry about.

I am nearing a volume with my wedding/portrait work where self-processing and proofing is almost impossible and I'm considering using a lab. I'm not sure if I want to switch to a c-41 process bw film or find a lab that can handle true black and white. Suggestions? And while I do shoot some digital (not for weddings), my Epson printer is not such that it can output archival prints so that's not an option right now. Thanks for your comments.
