I finally negotiated a deal with a local commercial photographer to soup and contact print my black and white. At the present time, I am taking a course at the local community college to relearn darkroom techniques. If your color positives are acceptable, your black and white should be fine. It's most likely them and not you. Now you need to take some pixes of your barbecue and rotisserie (using the Leica of course) so I can figure out how to add a rotisserie to my barbecue.
