Simply ask around and find out how great Bill Lapete is. His lab is the one and only (private)lab that many professionals trust. Many clients and collectors would like to have a real print ! Now the only place ,you can get that is chez Lapete.

FYI : If you purchase illford 8x10 Rc printing paper ,now you will get three B&W for free.You can certainly use the film and the paper of this promotion for this worshop .

Also illford has a competition for their new cover.simply go online and check illford.

lapete lab is located in south station, Boston.

For more info you can certainly email me. I really consider this the Golden child of all workshops!

P.S -- check the start kit from kodak or ilford. It includes 25 sheets of 8x10 VC RC paper (either semi-matte or glossy, i like semi-matte) and 2 rolls 400 speed 135mm paper. you might be able to find them in hunts.

and use some films other than T-MAX might help you to get better results and easy process for the first time. And don't bring those dye-based b/w film (usually it will say it is c-41 processable on the box/cassette). These are not silver based film and not for this workshop.
