Where to get film developed?

Hi, I have been in the US only a few months. I typically get my film developed/printed at a neighbourhood photo lab that I think is quite expensive at $14 for 36 exposures for one set of 4x6 prints. Slides are developed/mounted for $9 or so. Is that regular? I sent out a slide roll yesterday by

Am I losing it or has Pentax dropped the *istD and DS from its lineup? Seems they only show the DS2 and DL. Could it be that Pentax is about to enter the new era of Pro DSLRs? Will Samsung drag them kicking into the market to compete with the fantastic Nikon D200? Forget about the Canon 5D.

That's nonsense. One doesn't have to switch the camera to manual and a high shutter speed when loading film. As we can see by all these stories of screw-ups, it's probably not a well advised idea. If you're shooting on auto, leave the settings exactly where they were when you change film, load
