Digital BW, The Print

if you're good at processing bw film, then you can very probably do
better than a lab--you control the whole process including the developer
choice, time, temp, etc.  i used to do my own processing and kept my
jobo pretty busy, but lately i just send my bw film to the lab along
with my color.  it saves me a lot of time, and although i can do it
better, they do an acceptable job for me and i hate to process film.
always trade-offs!  :)

scala must be processed in a scala capable lab.

the proof is in the bw print at your final size, me thinks.
