I've got two 1GB microdrives, at $175 each, for a total of $350. That's comparable to the cost of one 20-roll box of Provia 100-F (around $100) plus what I pay for developing and mounting at a one-hour lab I trust. I could get processing a little cheaper, so let's say that the drives are both paid for after 1000 exposures. > Bruce Dayton wrote: > > > Shel, > > > > Let's see. Film costs me $4.00/roll.
