b&w lab in Detroit? / intro

Hi,

This is my first post to the list, and I apologize for it being somewhat
tangential, but I'm wondering if there's anyone on the list who can
recommend a b & w lab in the Royal Oak (suburban Detroit) Michigan
area that'd do an nice job of shooting a 4x5 copy negative from an old,
home-processed print that's seen better days.

By way of introduction, I'll say that I've recently built a pinhole
camera out of pine, with an adjustable focal length of between 0.5" and
11" and a pinhole needled through 0.003" brass shim stock; it uses 4x5
in a Grafmatic, 6 sheet holder -- truly the cat's meow -- that I picked
up at a Photo Fair in San Jose, California, a couple of weeks ago. I am
still testing for exposure, but was tickled by how well the first dozen
sunny day shots (Plus X) came out. Picking up some tabletop exposures
later today.

I'm based in San Francisco, and have been using Gamma labs for processing
and contact sheets. I imagine I'll be stepping into a darkroom myself
one of these days to try and keep costs down... so much to (re)learn.

Thanks in advance, Eric
