Subject: Re: Contrast control with b&w

Home B&W processing is so easy and cheap that I can't see a good
reason to pay a lab for it unless time is an issue. I still shoot a
fair bit of B&W film and do all my own B&W processing. At $1/roll or
less (depending on developer).

When I first started shooting in the 60's I was afraid I'd mess up the developing process... once I learned from a friend how to do it , I sure never looked back. You'll discover the right developer and procedure for the kind of stuff you normally shoot but you can switch when difficult shooting experiences dictate (e.g. - pushing and pulling with developer types and timing... ) nothing like having that perfect neg to work with, but a lot can be done with the filters and paper grades when the negs don't fly nicely as they are.
