I think you meant "Mike"..?

There was colour film of course but that was harder to develope and print yourself. I did use it and had it comercially developed (slides mostly - Ektachrome) but I mostly used B&W due to the ease of developing and printing. In 1986 My mate and I who did astrophotography together sold 150 photos of Halley's at $10 a pop to help finance our dream telescope (18" F5 Newt for astrophotography). At one stage we had a production line going in my garage at night making prints - fixer, developer, water etc....the scope was never finished

ATB and keep at your modern electronic developer

Mike
