Ditto. I had forgotten. The one time I DID shoot B&W film I tried a different downtown lab (they were supposed to good on B&W). The prints came out all scratched.
Luckily, for some reason, the negatives weren't. Never did figure that one out. But I am not up on B&W printing. (I was actually thinking fingernails, lab technician finger nails. Most were women.)

(I'm blocking that bad memory:-) I was having a heck of a time trying to find an affordable C41 lab that wouldn't scratch the film and render it useless for scanning. (Or at least very difficult to fix.) The pro lab that processed my 6x7 E-6 would always put a crease in the end frame with their clamp. And they sometimes scratched the film as well. Don't miss any of it one bit.
