[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3321322, member: 7900"] In my film days, I had three different brands. My first was an Asahi Pentax Spotmatic (Asian version of the Honeywell Pentax Spotmatic). Then I acquired a Minolta XG-1 from my mother and then a Canon T-50 from my sister. The Canon T-50 had the automatic film advance. I never really did black and white as I was generally just getting pictures of beautiful scenery instead of trying to be "artistic." I taught a short class on photography in our church for the youth. One of those young men kind of adhered to the philosophy that B&W was the "only" way to go. So, I showed them a picture in black and white of a boat moored at a dock. After he agreed that the photo looked pretty good, I then showed the class the same photo in color. The color rendition was the one that provided the impact by them seeing that the boat was on fire. I still do pretty much only color and for the same reasons. The following is the only image I have that I took and made into a B&W. The wife's oldest sister asked me to get a photo of a saddle that her dad owned along with his dress hat as a tribute to him after his death. That saddle and hat are shown below in both color and B&W. Prior to him passing, my father-in-law gave me the saddle. It was the one that I used when we were on the farm/ranch. It currently resides in the house of a niece, as I don't have room for it in our RV.
