Slide film processing
I have found some great labs for film but I have been having a hard time finding a lab that does slide film and black and white at the moment I am at the mercey of Wal-mart because the lab I used for slides went out of business. Can anyone suggest a good lab for slides and B&W?

I think your best bet is to probably send-out or mail order. Check into your places like CVS but if not you can get on B&H and get 5 mailers for like $35, which obviously comes out to $7 a roll which really isn't bad. You could also develop yourself, which is kind of hard, but fun.

Get mailers for Fuji slide film and both Kodak slide and color print film. The latter allows you to have B&W processed for the same price. Note, however, that Kodak no longer opeates the labs even those the mailers say Kodak. They go to Direct Photo in Maryland [who also operates York Laboratories and Clark Color Labs.] The work is mostly "acceptable."

Fuji slide films require E-6 processing, which most local (real) camera stores can handle with a pretty quick turn-around.
Try doing a search on Google for "slide film processing" along with the name of your town. I'm sure something will pop up locally.
You will pay a little more than with those mailers but you will get them back so much faster that it's worth it.I used mailers for years when I shot Kodachrome, since local labs couldn't handle the special processing it required. It took about a week to get my photos processed and sent back to me.
Since I switched to E-6 slide films I've never had a problem getting them processed locally.
The place that does all of my slides has them ready the next day,(...or within a few hours for a couple extra bucks). I know very little about B&W film processing...(Maybe Google can help here too.)
