Amen to the gratification with the mono development Walt; and I have a chemist in my village who will get 120 and 35mm developed for me at reasonable cost (a fiver for a roll of 120 or a 35mm slide film).

Now about those macro flashes. I am starting to yearn for a ringflash at reasonable prices... have you any for sale?

For the past several years, I have shot mostly color, but my
interest in B&W has been rekindled and I'm now shooting that half
the time, or more.  I develop my own B&W.  A half hour with some
D-76 and fixer comes as close to instant gratification as I really
need (or deserve).

And my major gripe about color, since I shoot almost exclusively
slides, has been the delay in getting the film processed.  Not
anymore!  I have found, six short miles and only 10-15 minutes
away, a lab that does same-day E-6, both 35mm and 120.  Good
enough for me.

Besides, after the "new" wore off in a month or two, then I'm
afraid that E-1 would have me lying awake nights listening to that
low-frequency rumbling of depreciation coming from down the hall.
Maybe I'll reconsider in a few months, like when we see what the
E-2 looks like.  By then we should know if that Zuiko lens adapter
thingy is actually going to exist or not, and by then E-1s will be
rumbling in the wee small hours of darkness a lot less.
