That is actually something I've thought about, Shel. I don't think that my guy does that, and I'd prefer to have him do my negs, since he does my printing as well. Next time I'm in (likely Monday), I'll have to remember to specifically ask him if he scans to disc. Ideally, I'd have a neg scanner, then I'd only have to pay $6 a roll to develop. In the not so long run, I'd make up the price of a neg scanner by saving about $8 a roll by not having contacts. As always, it's having the cash up front for a scanner... Good thought, though, Shel - I'll investigate. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
