If you develop your own colour film, you *do* have to be concerned about your temperatures, times, etc. Most labs have a default way they develop each type of black and white film (some use the same combos for most B&W film). If you do your own developing, you have to be concerned with the details, regardless of film type. If you have a lab do it, then it takes just as little skill to let them develop your black and white negs as it does for colour negs. chris - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
