I looked up a pdf blurb on the Noritsu 3101, and it looks impressive. I notice max size up to 12x18 - does yours output 12x18 prints? http://www.noritsu.com/3101.pdf I could ask at my local WalMart, which I think has such a machine, but on a scale of one to ten, they score "other - friendly" in terms of technical knowledge. They had a hard time understanding "develop only, no prints", even when I carefully explained the process and showed them their price bar code in their three-ring binder. It was so difficult a concept for them that many times they gave me the processed film for free, and no amount of protesting on my part would make them charge me the two bucks or so they were supposed to. I kept waiting for the shoplifting goons to tackle my wife and I in the parking lot as we left with my unpaid processed film... -- John Mustarde www.photolin.com
