Color? We don' need no steenking color!
There actually are several excellent color photographers posting in various parts of the site. They're just outnumbered.
I think it would be more accurate to say that the threads aren't grouped by B&W or color in general, but by subject matter. You will find color shots in many of the image sharing threads, not only in the small formats threads. There are any number of folks shooting large format color neg and positive - you just have to look.

Yet you still return to review the threads and comment, quite often by your post count. How ironic to enjoy something yet complain about it. You complain about the rules here, about the rules over there, why not just create your own website and then you can make the rules?

Two quick responses to the recent "discussions:"
1) I enjoy seeing all images, seeing what others do with situations, since it is all inspirational. So I think the "smaller format" threads are valuable, even in a primarily LF forum.
2) As pointed out, there are color photos in both the "smaller" and "larger" image threads. I think they are outnumbered simply because processing color film is problematic for many of us; I am very comfortable developing B&W sheet film, color "not so much" (in fact, "not at all"). Obviously color is easier with digital capture, so it is most common in the small format thread, and less common in the medium format thread, because digital MF cameras are very expensive.

I only now realized that this thread is specifically for black and white pictures. Whoops. That's what I get for trying to please everyone by posting color pictures. Well anyway, it won't happen again, I promise. If anyone's interested, the above photos were all made with a Mamiya 7II.
