and white separation negatives; but there is a pretty steep learning curve doing matched sets from your original chromes. The advantage is that these wouldn't
fade, and they'd do a superior job reproducing the full scale and hues of your original. But 8x10 T-Max ain't cheap either, though FP4 could be substituted with a
bit more fuss. You'd want to hypothetically learn the technique with 4x5 film anyway, unless you want the piggy bank to have a quick death rather than slow one.
