Bill, become a home-developer and you can blame yourself for all the mistakes
I developed two rolls of Delta 100 this morning and hey, the scanner LOVES the dust and scratches,
it´s spring, a lot of pollen in the air. No, the bathroom window was closed.
Some years ago i stopped giving my b&w films to a local lab, they ruined them in 95%, now they are "dead".
Ha, yo´re using girly-film (C-41), the easy way, but that´s not real b&w, everytime i use a BW400 i get crazy about the poor blacks and overall impression. But it´s easy with ICE, biggest advantage!
Good luck!
