i'm looking for some labs here in the states where i can send my b&w negs and have traditional prints made. somewhere where the time is taken to explore the negative and come up with the right combination of paper(s), developer(s) and burning/dodging.
negs are mostly 35mm and some 120. speedy turnaround not crucial and am willing to pay modestly. can't spend a fortune but i do understand the work involved and am willing to pay for it.
sad considering i have a dedicated darkroom sitting at home with 4X5 beseler enlarger and dedicated darkroom sink capable of 16X20 prints. just not enough hours in the day, i guess. barely find enough time to shoot and process negs.
anyone have any recommendations?
thanks,
chris

How about renting your darkroom to a student, or someone starting printing, in exchange for doing some prints for you ?
It will spread the craft and help both yourself and the hirer(s).
And no, I don't mean I'm local and looking for a darkroom !
