Lab for my B&W for now.

Darkroom disabled but I still need some b&w developing and proof prints done. My cheaper local lab for prints uses Kodak DURAFLO RT developer; I'm hoping someone can comment on it for use with whatever film? My other more expensive lab which uses Xtol is very pricey on the proofs. If you have a reasonably priced lab which uses standard decent developers like Xtol or others, could you pass on a web address.

I know Sixty-Eight Degrees uses Xtol in their dip-and-dunk (gallons and gallons and gallons of it!).

Sometimes all it takes is perspective.

Thanks David, but my expensive lab is 1/3 the cost of the one you noted.

 

[David A. Goldfarb]

Oops. I checked the prices after posting that, just remembering that they use Xtol. $16 is a bit steep for dev & contact.

The $16 ain't that bad, but I want 5x5's.

I know that Calypso Imaging, in Santa Clara, CA, does B&W processing, but I'm not sure what chemicals they use.
