In one sentence, you develop b&w film yourself, or you stick withchromagene (sp?) b&w films like the Ilford XP400, developed in C41 process.Shipping conventional b&w film for a mediocre "average" development procedure is just not worth while.
If you find a lab that will work with you, there are many ways in which your shooting and their processing can be synchronized for optimal results. XP is great stuff if you can't find a lab you can work with - but the hybrid way film is used today, why even use chromogenic films - good color negative films are cheaper, more versatile, and conversion of the color scans to grayscale is easy.
