Most people ruin black & white footage by just desaturating.
That removes control over tonal separation and that’s what makes B&W look cinematic and more proffecional.
Here’s a better workflow in DaVinci Resolve:
• Use DaVinci Wide Gamut for maximum dynamic range. Convert log footage properly (Log → DWG → Rec.709)
• Use RGB Mixer instead of saturation and adjust RGB channels.
🟥 affects skin, foliage warmth
🟩 affects foliage detail, skin contrast
🟦 affects sky brightness, shadows
• Shape tones with curves
This gives you full control over tones, contrast, luminance, and texture.
If you’re into videography, filmmaking, and color grading—this is a must.

Vintage 24mm vs Modern 24mm. This is old Canon 24mm f/2.8 S.S.C. lens I tested recently and compared to Sony 24mm f/1.4 GM.
Same camera, same shots, same grade. Kodak 2383 look only. Nothing else changed.
What surprised me? This Canon lens is 53 years old and it’s razor sharp. I honestly expected it to be way softer than it is.
There’s a slight colour cast, but honestly... that’s the charm.
One thing I caught in post — the f-stops don’t behave the same. Canon’s f/5.6 gives noticeably shallower depth of field compared to the Sony at the same setting
Bottom line: straight out of camera, the Canon 24mm f/2.8 S.S.C. just looks like something.

👀 Trick question.
The tower is called Elizabeth Tower.
Big Ben is just the bell.
I’ve just learned that.
I’m not that smart.
