But that's the most expensive of all!!  Processing your own B&W is
prohibitively expensive for me.  It's much, much cheaper to shoot digital
and use one of the excellent conversion programs for B&W.  I still have a
whole bag full of B&W film that I shot in India and have never gotten around
to developing and printing.  My chemistry is out of date and I don't want to
order more.  I'm spending enough time scanning old film without having to
scan new film!!  I can't imagine that I would ever go back to film.
