For me it all depends on expectations about results. Sometimes I shoot a roll (or a few rolls) and ask myself what single image would be the best on it. Sometimes nothing comes to mind and I loose enthusiasm and set the roll aside. This is with both B&W I do myself and with slides that go to the lab.
But if I think I got something, or (more often) if I hope I got something but have doubts - then it's straight to the lab. Ironically - the correlation between my expectations and the results is not very good, and the rolls I delay probably yield more successes than the ones I rush in. On a tangent - I have to say that I've come to really appreciate the latitude that comes with developing your own B&W. It adds another step to the creative process that's missing from color processing (unless, I guess, you do your own color processing.) - MCC At 07:53 AM 3/15/02 -0800, Shel wrote: >Man, there are days when processing B&W negs is just sooo boring and >tedious.
