BW400CN Film. Found at my freezer

Wow !!! I didn't expect such a response to my post... I used XP-2 and Kodak CN attending workshops on documentary photography in the analog era, Charles Harbut and Mary Ellen Mark taught using this materials, make easier to judge the pupils progress.

As I pointed at the beginning of this thread, I'll shoot a roll at the manufacturer specifications, 400 asa, and send it to my favorite lab. The lab used to be the most important decision, due to the proliferation of minilabs at that time, there were a bunch of very lousy, bad processing, and that was one of the main reasons for the discredit of the film, the people runing the machines didn't understand that the prints must be monochrome.

Well in their defense many are simply trained to load the machine and make change.

I agree that the attendants are not trained well, that is a true failure of the owners and managers involved.

The problem is that customers on one hand think the results are indicative of good lab work, most customers it seems don't even question or challenge the guy behind the counter. On the other hand customers don't ask because they understand that the guy or gal behind the counter has only had the job for a week and they have no clue of where else they might get better services.
