I've never had a problem with anything at all except Price Club chewing up my 1600 film twice. However, as good as the places I use now, I really like my instructor in the course I have and the studio is also a Kodak lab. I've talked with him and I can now say I will never be worried about the results, as he'll do a superior job for me, and with B/W I can have him try all sorts of things..something that I couldn't do with my current place, as they just ship it out...
