The B&W workflow I listed generally takes about 2-3 minutes per photo to complete once you understand what you're doing (I have it about 80% scripted and can process 1000 RAW files to a default B&W rendering in about half the time it takes to process one roll of negatives), and you have more options to start with. It's much more difficult and more time consuming to process and print a roll of B&W film to equal quality standards.
