Don't need a darkroom. Just a bathroom that can be darkened for a few minutes to load your film. If your scanning your chromogenic film, there's no reason why you can't scan your silver halide film. The main advantage I see to C41 B&W is that you can use the infrared channel on many scanners to help eliminate dust and scratches. The main advantage I see to doing your own conventional B&W is that you don't need to eliminate dust and scratches that were placed there by the stupid lab. :) Come on. You know you really want to. :) -- Eric http://canid.com/
