I use black and white film because I develop it myself. I've done my film
speed and development testing for T Max 100 and HP5+ so I use the zone
system for exposure and development and hopefully start with the best
possible negative. Then of course there's the cost of using a lab to develop
color film vs. the pennies it costs to develop black and white yourself. But
the main reason isn't the cost, it's the control I have over the development
of black and white film that I would lose if I used color and turned
development over to a lab.
