As long as the photo is BW and taken by you with a Pentax, any sort of PP is allowed.

Adam,

How about having a few (as in more than one) where NO amount of PP is permitted? The photos must be submitted exactly as taken by the camera with no processing either "on camera" or "in the darkroom". That would level the playing field to only showcase the photographer's abilities and the particular camera/lens selected. Or perhaps have two monthly contests, one where PP is permitted and another with the same theme but where PP is prohibited. Just a thought...

To Spartan:: I believe as long as the end result is a B&W photo taken with a Pentax camera, it's fair game!

Yes, that's perfectly fine

Theme suggestions should go in the suggestions forum FYI.

Great to see another film shooter, especially with MF. Shoot, scan, and post. Good luck.

Can you have B&W with some subtle brown tones extracted?

I second that - the only problem is how would you be able to tell, you can go on the honor system, but even then your still gonna get someone fluffing it...

B&W and sepia is fine, but B&W with filled in colors isn't.

Sigh.... Have a nice Bleeding heart flower pink in the bed of BW.... But that's for my own consumption anyway.

They have to be monochromatic, so I don't think so.
