David. Call Panda Labs in Seattle. They're about one block north of the Space Needle entry to Seattle Center. They specialize in B&W but also have CC41 and a C41 machine they bought when another local went out of business. They're small, quirky and for me at least, did really nice work. Most of the local pros I know speak well of them. Last of a dying breed, for sure. I know they do a lot of mail-in; once saw FedEx guy bring in a big plastic bag. It contained 65 exposed rolls of B&W from a wedding shoot in Denver. 533 Warren Avenue North Seattle, WA 98109-4527 (206) 285-7091 Cheers Cheers, Bob in Guess Where?
