Sometimes I would like to back to Tri-X and Acufine.

Hi Harvey,
So tell me, do you have to go into rehab for acute Tri-X psychosis? Don't be shaving your hair off now!
Now, what's the story of this picture and what's your route to the B&W?
I examined the file, there's a lot of potential there!

Hello Asher,
This shot was taken during a visit to Charleston, SC area to meet some fellow photographers.
Used the 5D and 24-70L @24, iso3200 f2.8 1/15" in a very dim area of a restaurant. I was checking the camera settings with this shot. It is cropped quite a bit.
Did all the processing in LR v1, which I am enjoying using very much. Used the grayscale preset and fiddled with the tone curve a bit.
re Tri-X and shaving my head:
My first venture into photography was with an M3 and 35 + 50 Summicron lenses. Used mainly Tri-X and Pan-X developed in Acufine. Early 60's. I get nostalgic for those days occasionally.
Don't think I'll shave my head over this, at my age the primary function of hair is to hide the bumps, and I have successfuly compleated a treatment program for addiction to inhaling fixer solutions
My fav from that day:

Since you also use the 5D you might be interested in this short post on my B&W workflow, which I also use for color.

Why don't you post the topic entirely in a new and separate thread since it's so fascinating. I really wonder whether, as a general rule, viewing in B&W is sufficient to pick the winners in color!
I do agree that optimizing the picture in B&W is most helpful in getting any picture right.
I have never set my camera to show in B&W! Didn't see it on the menu!

B&W is in "Picture Styles"

Here's a picture taken by the window in the evening when there was the last of the light. The subject is one of the best base players I know. If you follow good music in Los Angeles, then you've heard him play!

Actually Stuart that's exactly what I wrote in the aforementioned blog post.
If you know you're shooting ALL B&W, you can set the default for each particular camera to default to B&W in Adobe Camera Raw (and then move selected images back to color as needed). Bridge will honor those settings too.
PS: yay 50mm
