Itâ€™s like to use the $300 analog system + Vibroplane and to adjust the Vibroplane pressure for each record â€¦

Dear jj,
despite that some of your comments are generally correct they have NO practical meaning and can serve only self-entertaining purpose. In the situation when you donâ€™t control the development process is very difficult and practically impossible to get predictable result and take advantage of filmâ€™s idiosyncrasies. (Witch easy could be overcome by certain exposure and custom developing techniques) Even if hypothetically we assume that you use VERY good lab then, even there, the quality control of C-41 will be not up to the E-6â€™s point of the demands. Not to mention the B&W. Even good custom lab has a $10-12/hour teenager who cooks all his film in badly controlled and already dead D-76 (witch is not the best choice to begin with). The proper B/W development is lost knowledge (as well as manufacturing good sound). It is very unfortunate fact. I am not object what you said. I question of this has a practical meaning for you guysâ€¦.
