Does color film have as much latitude as black and white film?
Bryansimeoli
Wow, surprised this hasn't been answered.
The answer is defiantly not. Colour film has a much lower latitude.
Off the top of my head (trying to remember back) slide colour only has a latitude of about 3 stops (depending on film). That is what gives it that great colour contrast for fashion and commercial photos but difficult exposures.
Colour print film is about 4-5 stops (depending on film).
Black and white depends on the film but I recall 9 stops being possible. I've pushed B&W film 6 stops and it was still quite usable. I've pushed colour film 3 stops and it was mediocre, however, it was a low end film.

Is it better to film in color or in black and white?
There are pluses and minuses for each venue. Sometimes the simpleness of black and white outperforms any color print and vice versa.
