I deduct he didn't develop the film by himself. >From 2.) I conclude, that the finisher either put the B&W film into the colour developers (which is possible with some modern emulsions) *and* certainly printed the B&W negeatives on colour paper using his standard automated printing machine. (Otherwise our friend would have paid a little fortune for printing, since B&W printers are very uncommon these days and good b&W prints are extremely expensive manual work) Printing B&W on colour papers always yields extremely *lousy* results and you'd hardly tell the differences between photos taken by a high-end camera or a children's toy. Maybe the original poster can comment on this, Joerg
