I have complete control over my 4x5 film. NO LABS. I develop the negs myself, both BW and color. I then print my own BW as needed wet, mostly contacts. I scan and digitally print my own color via inkjet. You don't have to shoot digitally to have complete control. JCO

The lab that processed it was a very well known pro lab and the film looked good. Except for the fact that they kept ruining the first exposure by kinking the film when they attached it to the clip on their machine. So I was down to nine exposures per roll, and they were expensive exposures at that. I think that was the straw that broke the camel's back. As someone else said, I have complete control when I shoot digital. That works for me.
