I don't know if I have the Olympus bug, or the retro bug, or a
combination of the two, but recently I've had an urge to go back to B/W
photography. But wow, what a heck of a lot of money they're asking for
B/W developing (and film!). Can anybody give me the name of a mail source
that does reasonable and good B/W developing? (West coast USA preferred.)
ALTERNATELY, since I'm more interested in the screen as my final
destination, what would you think of going the bargain color route (say
costco kodak print film and costco developing, totaling a grand $7 per
roll or so), and then manipulating the prints in photoshop (stripping
away the color and adding contrast)? Would that work for on-the-cheap B/W?
