A few years ago, when i took the darkroom class, the write up said to bring a roll of B&W film to develop at the first class. One of the first time students(several of us took the program again)had a roll, no one thought anything of it and she quickly had it out of the can and in to the tank. After the required time, we all pulled out our rolls and put them into the water wash, when it was time to put them in the dryer, she and several others noted that nothing was on her film strip. The usual questions were asked, lens cap off etc, but someone thought to look in the garbage and she had bought a roll of the C-41 B&W. Apparently the clerk told her this was the only B&W film available and would work with standard chemicals. This was 2002 btw. Big bummer was they were wedding shots.
