Richard - I'm working on my film from Honduras, much of it shot in color. For the M's I took only the Noctilux and the 35/1.4. I really like the Provia 100F and 400F shots. I also took a lot of Fuji Press 400, 800, and 1600 with the idea that it might scan better. I much prefer the Provia results. The Noctilux is outstanding with B&W and color. If you think you might need both, color can be converted to B&W. You can't do the reverse unless you are into the hand-colored look - which can also be outstanding in its own way!
