I absolutely prefer b&w but how to get there is the issue. After almost 
30 years of souping  Tri-X and Ilford HP5 I'm burned out. I'm almost 
completely convinced color negs and Photoshop can master the monochrome 
issue. After looking at some of the responses I got the idea some 
thought I meant going to digital.....Not in this lifetime for sure, 
although negatives in  a Coolscan do become digital. Something else, if 
I could follow you around Barcelona I'd load Tri-X for sure. When seeing 
how luminous your work is I get highly motivated,
