I had not done a lot of B&W but Nilda had a class at Hayward State and I got to help. She even developed and printed her own stuff. One afternoon I got to help print at an outside lab where we could rent space and chemicals at a good price. I learned a bunch and had fun. Even if you just send yours to a lab, it will be cool for you to correlate aperture/shutter speed to results. Check out photography on Wikipedia too. Lots of cool info there for free. Truth be told, you are already ready for a DSLR but have some fun with the B&W film camera first. Wanna know more about various models, check out www.dpreview.com . Of course, you have already tapped into one of the best resources you could... Lance! He's gotta be a wealth of experience waiting to be downloaded into your brain. enjoy, Joe Jared:
