Luckily there are a few pro labs left here in Toronto that still develop black and white film. Sadly, no commercial lab that I know of still does wet process printing; all scan negs and print digitally. Still some pretty good results, though.

The last time I used Walgreens down her, the negatives were covered with crud. The next time I went there, I took a look at their Fuji Frontier processor. The negs came out and seemed to be falling into a square metal wastebasket. An indication that digital ICE cures everything.
