Going chromogenic
Been playing with chromogenic film on the Mju recently - Fuji's 400CN. Chromogenic film is black & white film that's processed like colour. Which means you can get it developed in any lab, like Jessops or Boots and at the same price as colour. It doesn't look that bad, in my opinion... And the Mju is quite happy with it. Kodak, Ilford and Fuji all do this sort of film. Ask in a camera shop. I've seen arguments online to the effect that it isn't proper film, it doesn't look right and it's not proper - all possibly because you can get a nice black and white effect without half-poisoning yourself in your bathroom, pretending that darkroom photography is proper photography. It's 90% as good, in my opinion. But hey, what do I know?
