that's what Wheatfield suspects, as well.
you're both probably right - the greedy bastards have it set
up to mass-produce tourist snaps in high volume @$14/roll, 4x6.
still, practically speaking, it is still a piece of crap for
my needs. such a shame they went sloppy-digital, as they used
to do great stuff w/ the Agfa-Copal they had before.
the local WalMart just put in a 1-hour machine, but they only
use the "mottled" paper which I find unacceptable. That leaves
just the Fred Meyers which has a not-so new Noritsu and counter
clerks running it. a sad state of affairs! they are supposed
to be getting an all-new modern whizbang new machine - probably
another digital abomination.
(now perhaps my leaning towards going full-tilt retro w/
8x10 contacts and E100VS transparancies will make a little
bit more sense to youse guys (& gals, of course ;^)
