Users of C41 processed black & white film

...such as Kodak T400CN or Ilford XP2. Do you know a good place to develop prints that produces good results but doesn't break the wallet?

Until recently, I've been using the Konica lab at Raffles City. 4R prints in one hour for only 12 dollars is really hard to beat but lately some of my negatives have been scratched quite a bit.

Do you have any places to recommend? Thanks in advance.

i use Konota @ Peninsula... good quality but remember to tell them to print black, otherwise they'll come out greenish.

I have never got any satisfactory B&W print from any minilab using colour papers. (you can tell them to print black but the outcome is just not "truely" B&W. I know I'm expecting too much)

OTOH, I understand that Ruby can get films like T400CN processed with C41 printed on true B&W papers using conventional way and yield very good result. Of course, $$ is another issue all together.

The B&W done by Ruby is a more ex. but the quality is good. Real B&W with no color cast. around $25/roll

Anyone tried sending such chromogenic film to KT? How were the results?

Asked them once that as long as it's C-41 process, they can handle it. B&W film also can, but they'll outsource it to another place for processing.
