To be a good B&W photographer you need to know how to develop and print B&W. It
helps for color too, but many feel it is not as important. Anytime you are
dealing with a custom lab you need to know enough to supervise their work for
you, at least enough to know when to demand a reprint.

from the questioner:
What kind of scanners are people using? Are most of you developing your
black and white film yourselves and scanning it in? Is a cheaper
scanner adequate?
Is there a reason that I've read in any number of places that in order
to be a good photographer you need to learn how to develop b+w film?
Thanks in advance
