>>3024316thanks very much for your thoughtful reply.
you're right about MF, of course. I think we all get these urges to spend money sometimes.
I find b&w is a bit limiting, but maybe it's a good way for me to practice the basics for now (I definitely need it). I guess I could spend the $100 on rodinal and etc instead of the 400h. fuji superia always comes up nice for me anyway.
check out another one of these veiny shots. it was a roll of cinestill 800t. I consider this the best of the lot. not saying much, perhaps
