Analog film photography and cameras

also (I know off topic) the best way to get good digital Black and White is to shoot with the reddest filter you can buy (i guess any color will work) it makes the light all one color when it hits the lens, allowing for richer contrast after B&W conversion.

You mean shooting in colour with a coloured filter in order to convert the image into B/W afterwards. Good idea, but I would just shoot normal colour, exposed correctly, then desaturate and push the contrast in Photoshop.

Maybe a medium coulur filter would give nice contrast to start with.
