I heard it will come out as sepia ? Its terribly expensive here in Australia to develop B/W negatives. $1.10 per piece of photo including developing. If processed as colour film, the photos will come out as sepia ? And if I scan it using a film scanner, will it be sepia or b/w ?
What if I develop B/w Negatives as colour ?

A good lab can print B&W negs onto colour paper with minimal colour cast (sepia or otherwise).
If you scan, it can be in whatever shades you want, sepia, pure B&W, blue, red, etc.

Then ... would the processed negative be ruined when process in the colour negative way ? Or would I be able to reprint as b/w photo.
No. If you shoot C41 B&W films like Kodak T400CN, Ilford XP2 Super, etc, they are processed via C41 (the colour processing process) anyway.
If you shoot traditional B&W like Kodak Tri-X, Ilford HP5, FP4, etc, the lab will have to process this the "B&W Way".
Either way, you can still print it the B&W way in a wet darkroom. The colour cast came from printing, not the processing.

No it's not advisable. Use only bnw processing. But if u wanna try go ahead... but i doubt u'll have much effects. Buy CN film if u want to process bnw at color labs.
Hi! I do not have my dark room. Is there anyone know whether the color lab can make a traditional B/W print on B/W paper for me? Is it good or too expensive to try....

You asking about Colour Lab the lab, or are you referring to any generic lab? If you want a traditional B&W print on traditional B&W paper, try Fee Fee at Chinatown, near Chinatown Point.

I am looking to acquire a P&S as a everyday camera and hope to load it with B&W film to bring it with me everywhere I go.
Anyone can recommend me a multipurpose B&W film for use mainly in streetphoto taking? Please include the price of each roll and where to get it. Thanks
About this C41 process. Is this a cheaper way of printing b&w pictures?

Thanks for reply. I am talking about the traditional B/W. Have tried C41 B/W. Do not like it. I like the real B/W print especially on fiber paper. So I hope any lab can help me to enlarge my negitives though I will lost the most interesting part in B/W.... :cry: I can not set up my darkroom now...
BTW: Is there any one know the price rang for a contact print and a 8R enlargment in Fee Fee or other lab? I mean the traditional B/W print?:dunno:

To wormz777:
You can try TMAX-400. The 400 speed will be fast enough for general shots on street. The grain is fine. But it is traditional B/W. You can not use C41 in 1h color lab.

Ruby Photo told me $9 for developing and contact 1 roll of B&W. About $1 odd for 3R size prints.
Konata's chromogenic B&W dev. and printing is no different from their usual charges.
do you need to pay extra for those fibre paper etc?

in terms of quality of the prints, whats the difference between tradditional B/W film on B/W paper and C41 B/W film on colour paper?
is the difference in price worth it?
Any B&W printed on colour printer usually has less contrast. The print is grayish, and blacks are usually not black enough, thus the thing looks rather "flat".
On real B&W paper, you can get blacker blacks and generally more contrast.

What if I use colour film and dip it info b&w developer? Would it work, and wat special effects can I expect?

You can try then tell us. I have not heard of this sort of "Cross Processing" heh.
My guess is that you end up with funny looking B&W-type film.
