More monochrome photos

Canonman, I sorrt to say but if XP2 is B&W film than I'm not really interested, though no doubt it's a fine film.

I find that most-if-not-all of my shooting is in colour. When I shoot I often have a sense that a particular shoot might look good in B&W. I prefer the flexibility of colour film and turning a shot into monochrome afterwards. That way I never have that most maddening of sensations "I wish I had this or that film right now!". :)

I sometimes shoot Efke KB100 but I feel very limited when I shoot it. That's the reason why I always bring a second camera loaded with colour film when I shoot true B&W film. :)
I have 2 or 3 rolls of Efke left and I doubt I'll buy more when they're finished. It's a nice film, though. I develop it in Rodinal 50:1 for 7m30s at 24 degrees C.
I found that this film gives pictures a certain glow, perhaps just as elusive as the famed Leica glow. :)
You can see some examples of that effect in these pictures:
