I would try Hagio's, if they are still around and doing film. Back in the day, they were by far the best film printers I've come across. All of my corporate work for Compaq and such was printed by them. I have some huge poster size prints of models in black and white shot on 35mm that they blew up for me and the quality is amazing. No grain whatsoever, either.

Well, maybe they do your B&W. Last time I went in and got turned down. That's why I had to go to Coby's Studio and spent some quality time with Coby in his darkroom.

I guess it wasn't really "quality time" in the darkroom!

Quality time in the Dark room for me, puts $$ in my pocket. Minghao doesn't. (Not that I won't help someone out, but I just don't have the time to do it regularly and still be sucessful in my business and serve my clients.)

Besides, if Minghao has to start paying for processing...he will LEARN how to do it quicker! $$ coming out of the pocket hurts! Best incentive to learn something and learn it right!
