Re: Eclair Cameras: T-max versus 7245

I don't think you're being too "artsy".  I like the look of it, too, and
believe that you can't create the same look by shooting color and printing
to B&W, or by desaturating in telecine (but you have to love the grain)... I
shot my last two films on 7222 and 7231.

Issues of grain aside ... I believe that real B&W film, photographed and lit
correctly for B&W contrast, has a unique look when projected that can't be
duplicated when color neg is printed in B&W. Perhaps I'm being too Artsy
here. All I know is that when I see an original 35mm print of Citizen Kane,
or the B&W Nykvist/Bergman films of the 50s, there has been nothing like
that look to come out on the silver screen since the demise of real B&W,
(except perhaps SHINDLER'S LIST and some of WOODY ALLEN'S MOVIES).

And B&W negative is archival .... color neg is not.  Just food for thought.
I'll bet that a T-Max print projected in a theater at the proper color temp
for B&W would look stunning.
