...try using Tri-X film and D-76 developer for your first few rolls (or their Ilford equivalents: HP5 Plus film and ID-11 developer, I believe.)Mike
Problem I see with labs is two fold. They aren't maintaining their equipment as often due to low volume, and low volume is not helping the equipment stay in check. Secondly some labs are letting go of their higher wage experienced workers to cut costs, and then hiring lower wage beginners which don't know much at all. Mistakes then happen. That or the labs are cutting hours so much that the long term people leave. In essence not only are film companies getting to the point they have to possibly cut corners to make their products (supply of chemicals, etc to make film), but labs are now too. That or they go out of business (as some have).

In addition, doing your own B&W is very fulfilling, regardless of the cost and time.
