Response to Bad Black & White Processing

There is simply no other way to obtain black and white negatives the way you want them except by processing your own film. If you have the space to make a cup of coffee and operate a toaster, you have enough room to develop film, and produce contact sheets of your negs that will serve to fine tune your techniques, and will provide a lab with a good reference as to how you you want your prints to look. This can all be done for an outlay of less than a couple dozen rolls of film. Even if you are using the C-41 process "black and white" films, you can still make your own proof sheets to adjust your exposure techniques to the lab that is processing your film.
