I have been considering B/W as a new hobby, as I live in Hawaii I see beautiful shooting opportunities daily- However, I have been told that the only problem w/ b/w is 1- the film is very hard to find, 2- you have to develope it your self, and 3- both the film and developing are very, very expensive????
So... Is any of this true?
I have the space to set up a dark room, and don't mind doing so, but how much am I looking at to set up a simple one?-
Can my current Yashica 35mm be used. It has a zoom, etc, and takes great pictures?
Can you also suggest a place to START on getting more b/w info, tips, etc?
