Hey /p/ a gent at my workplace was so kind as to give me this the other day full set of lenses the works. However whenever i shoot black and white film it always comes out a sepia tone. When i do stuff on my olympus OM10 or the nikon FM2 it comes out fine though. Any explanations as to why this keeps happening?

Which Ilford? They make more than one film. Don't get your film processed at the drug store, that should fix your tone problem. Better yet, don't use black and white films that can be processed at the drug store in the first place.

Ilford black and white SUPER 400

and the film i purchased there was to hold me over until my shipment of ne film came i. Though i can understand what is being said about processing there. If i luck out doc might let me use the xray room as a darkroom after patient hours are over though. Then again i could just stop being cheap and figure out how to do it at home.

Well you can get these little developing tanks and reels that let you process film without a darkroom (only part that needs to be done in the dark is to load it with film, then the rest can be done in daylight).

From my understanding though, printing 'formal black and white' film involves a slightly different process (magnifier lenses and sensitive paper). I don't know how easy that would be to arrange.

You only need a darkroom to make prints, not to develop film. For film all you need is a changing bag, a tank with reel, a thermometer, a couple measuring cylinders, some developer, some fixer, and access to running water. You should be able to get everything you need for under $50 and you can do it in your kitchen.
