Response to Looking for to do for quality B&W sheet film processing.

If you really want to send your B/W film out, try Specialty Photo Labs in Santa Barbara Ca. (805) 962-6765. The have a Sitte-Tischer Nitrogen burst processor set up exclusively for B/W film processing. The quality was excellent when I used them. Of course human error will happen anywhere you go (including your own darkrooom!!!!!) but if something happens they will bend over backwards to make up for it. I currently process my own film (which is also what I reccommend) using JOBO and Unicolor drums. I believe this is a much more efficient, repeatable and safer process than trays for all non-compensating B/W film processing. Considering the volume of film you mentioned,though, I'd consider sending ot out also. At specialty they will also let you do N+ and N- processing. Ask for Glen Hodges, the owner he'll get you set up.
