B&W developing in Brooklyn: common questions

How much does B&W developing cost in Brooklyn?
Independent lab pricing is national in shape: about $18–30 to develop and scan a roll of 35mm black and white, versus roughly $15–24 for color. The premium reflects hand-processing in dedicated chemistry rather than an automated color line.
Why does black and white take longer?
Silver B&W is batched and hand-run, so it sits outside the fast color workflow. Fewer labs offer it and same-day is rare. Chromogenic films like Ilford XP2 are the exception — they develop in C-41 color chemistry, so any color lab can run them quickly.
Can I get darkroom prints, not just scans?
Some labs still run a wet darkroom and can make traditional silver-gelatin prints or a contact sheet; others scan and print digitally. If you want real darkroom prints, ask specifically before you hand over the roll.
