I am interested in knowing how you finger your chromatic scales, so I can compares yours to mine since speed with this scale is getting more and more popular. I use one and two on the whites and three on the blacks. Thanks for any responses.

Generally, your (everyone's) 1-2/3 fingering is the most even. For a speed boost, 1-3-1-3-1-2-3-1-2-3-4-1-(2) on the C-C ascent and 2-1-4-3-2-1-3-2-1-3-1-3-1 on the descent.
