I've had perfectly acceptable results from them. The only disadvantage, as you point out, has been the turn-round time. When I had a lot of film to process I used to take to the Wimbledon lab in person and talk it through with the people who did the work. When they moved the operation to the land of chocolate and the cuckoo clock I had about 70 rolls of film I wanted to process. Fortunately I was given the name of one of their customer service people, Florence something-or-other, who was extremely helpful. She relayed my instructions to the processors and the work was done as requested. My guess is that for people who never had the luxury of being able to go to Wimbledon, the move to Switzerland won't make much difference. The good news is that Agfa Scala processing has been brought back from France to London. It had been moved over there after Joe's Basement went into liquidation, but is now back here. -- Cheers, Bob mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
