I came to the conclusion that if one is doing the hybrid workflow of shooting on film and then scanning then using colour filters for black and white photography is just such a faff.
Everyone will be different but I did the same. I sometimes use a green filter for forest shenanigans. And coloured filters on colour film for fun.

Yea I still do it sometimes as well.
A light yellow filter with SLRs for example; not because it affects the photo a lot but because it helps me visualize the final image when I have a monochrome finder image.
I also use a dark green one when shooting b&w with the L35AF just because it looks really badass.
The camera with the green filter (plus vented hood!) on that is, the pictures are usually so-so, as using a dark green filter is just a stupid idea for the majority of occasions, but I'm old now and just don't give a shit anymore..

That being said I came to the conclusion that if one is doing the hybrid workflow of shooting on film and then scanning then using colour filters for black and white photography is just such a faff.
I mean, ideally you would carry a whole array of filters with you and use the different hues and strenghts fo the desired effect - yet when you process the files digitally later it's just so much easier (and cheaper of course), it's ridicoulous, and I do not even consider it "cheating".
