You CAN develop color film in B&W chemicals, but they (the B&W chems) will not remove the orange mask, so it may be difficult to get a good print (on an enlarger) from it ... not really sure. It scans good enough though.I believe I understand the difference
IMO, developing color film in B&W chemicals is a waste of film... It's one thing if the film is expired and you're just trying to get whatever you can. If you want color, shoot color. If you want B&W, shoot B&W. Gary will be here in a minute with scans of color film he developed in Rodinal, lol.
I love me some Rodinal, but I would rather use it on B&W film. Color film is typically more expensive anyway - it would be a shame to use it for something you could have gotten better results with, and for less money too.
Shoot the color film, have it developed normally, convert in PP. THEN, you have your B&W shots, but you still have good color negs.
Buy some real B&W film soon though.
Would i do that ok here's one
And another
