Processing Color Negative in BW chemicals

I was curious to see what kind of pictures will come out of a color negative processed with BW chemicals. So I took my Belair with Belairgon 114mm lens, shot 2 rolls of Lomo CN 400 and processed them in Kodak D-76 BW developper for 8'30. I couldn't decide if it was better to scan it in color or in BW, so here are the results of both scans

    Hard to say which scans I like better, but I think I'm slightly favouring the classic black and whites. Great album.

    thanks @clickiemcpete and @deepfried_goodness. I think I also have a preference for the real BW ones, but the sepia tones are interesting too. I think it can be worth to overexpose the color film when it's intended to process it BW, as the shots are a bit dark although the weather was very sunny...

    Definiteley hard to choose... I love the album. B&W pics are wonderful but I also looove the sepia, maybe not so much those with slight blue/green tones
