I'd check that out. Tell the lab to provide you with tiff files or at
least highest quality jpegs. They should be at least 2500 by 3000
pixels if they're really high-res scans. That will work nicely for
8x10s. For 11 x14, I'd want some more resolution. Then take a look at
the files at 100% and see if the scan captured good detail. If so,
that service will be a good deal. But if the quality isn't there, no
price is low enough to make it worthwhile.

The only issues are that my wife and I are extremely sensitive to
chemicals. She worse than I. It seems to be getting worse for the both
of us as time goes by though.
The second issue is scanning. For $10 I can get the film developed, a
contact sheet and all the negs scanned at a high resolution to CD. I
was looking at that cheapy scanner, but I don't know that I'd be happy
with the results. And since I'm not in a position to purchase a more
expensive scanner, I thought that I'd do my part to keep the local pro
lab open as long as I can.

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.
