Seems little point to using it then - as it shares the tonal, contrast and
grain characteristics of good colour film, you might as well shoot colour
film and use a good desaturation routine in Photoshop for those shots that
suit a B&W finish - same effect? So far, I've been happy with results
desaturating Reala in channels, for instance.
