  1. Thank you for the response. Very informative. Tri-x is in the mix as well, but I don't know if the limited nature of the stock will work for us.
  2. I've just done camera tests with XX neg and Tri-X reversal with an S16 SR2 for a student film. I can't wait to see how they turn out, but lately, people have been criticizing the choice of shooting BW and not shooting 7213/7207 and desaturating. Can anyone comment on the exact differences between shooting 7222 and 7213 and desaturating (for the sake of equal tungsten asa). My understanding is that the silver halide crystals on a BW film negative are not bleached away as they usually are when processing a color film negative. So at once, the makeup of the two processed films is very different. Also, does color film have the same sort of relative brightness control that BW film has? Such as using a red filter, etc. I feel as though I can tell the difference between drained color and BW (see 'The White Ribbon' which is beautifully shot, but the BW looks a little lifeless), but can a colorist not come very close to making them appear the same? Blacks and whites look nicer than muddy greyscale, but can't a colorist just manipulate the hell out of it? I guess the grain structure of BW will look different than the dye cloud of color, but besides this structural difference, what makes BW photographically superior to desaturated color?
