Most of them disappeared in the 80's when minilabs in department stores, supermarkets and pharmacy's took away most of the photofinishing business, which was their stock in trade. The ones that remained are the ones that had either a very solid equipment sales business, a superb location or a solid following with pro's.
Heck, most of the local 35mm film shooters I know go to a local Shoppers Drug Mart for processing C-41, as they do as good a job, for half the cost, as most of the local labs, as long as you only want development and low-res scans. Their prints suck though. -Adam Shel Belinkoff wrote: > Why is that? Did you have local camera shops?
