Something that consistently appalls me about threads such as
this is the apparent difficulty in finding good quality C-41
processing and printing. The job does need a certain level of
intelligence and skill (Can you walk, talk and chew gum without
tripping or biting your tongue?), but it is not rocket science.
WD-40, instant coffee and Tang are rocket science.
OTOH, where I live, there are only three labs out of about 18
that I would trust my film to.
Glad to help out.
