have you tried Pinewood in Waverly?
failing that, I know a place that does B&W by hand, in the Doncaster
area, though the negs are not quite as 'clean'as amachine process.
otherwise you have the options of Vanbar in Carlton (not tried, Nulab in
central melbourne.
regarding printing... I am pretty sure pinewood would h=use a digital
lab, same witht he place in Doncaster. I know Nulab have optical
equipment, though you will have to check about the cost of getting hand
made prints.
good luck.

My hand processing is cleaner than any machine ever invented!

Just a clarification, and apologies if this has been posted twice,

Pinewood has a Copal machine for optical B&W prints - for B&W
enlargements, they are done by hand.
Whilst we do offer digital prints from B&W, it's offered as a cheaper
alternative - we endeavour to convey to customers that this is not true
B&W, because it is printed on colour paper.

I hadn't even heard of them -- thank you, they look like a good option.

OK -- that makes a good short-list!

I think I've managed to brief my client to ignore the amount of grain
on the machine prints, so I guess I can get away with digital printing
now.
Many thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Paul.
