dourbalistar's Tri-chromes have intrigued me. See, they are are not the colors that combine to create other colors. I think they are called subtractive colors, and yellow, cyan, and magenta are additive colors. My memory isn't the best - so I may be all wet. In printing, when you mix RGB you get a muddy dark brown or black. This is to say, that in my head it doesn't make sense that RGB Tri-chromes would work, but they do. I know Gimp, but I know Photoshop better - so that is what I used. I don't have the exact filters that dourbalistar mentioned - so I used the closest color match filters I could cobble together, and then imaged it further in Photoshop. I'm kind of stunned at the result of the first few "Still Life's" I shot last night.
@lifeandmylens, for crisp and precise, I like tmax 100 or 400. For lively contrast and grain, kentmere 200. I get the sense that you could run sandpaper rather than film, and you’d still get better results than me!

I still shoot 35mm, but lately have been more interested in black and white, of which I have none in 35mm. I do however have a ton of 200T. Here are some recent shots with 200T converted to B&W. It's 10x the work though of just shooting and especially developing B&W. Any recommendations for a cheap B&W film?
Leica M6/M7, Contax G2, Nikon F3
200T
various lenses
Yeah, don't limit yourself to 'cheap' B&W lol.
My favorites are Pan F+ (landscapes), Acros II (general purpose, great recipricity characteristics for long exposure), and Ferrania Orto (inky blacks, graphical ortho look).
