Exactly. That's why my original message explicitly said the per-roll costs were for the film itself, the developing, and the medium res scanning. No mention of prints there. Had I been printing the cost would've been about US$ 0.25 per frame higher. Even when I was having my film scanned, I didn't get prints. If I wanted a print, I wanted something 8" x 10" or larger. Those I rescanned on my film scanner at high resolution and printed myself, or sent it somewhere like Shutterfly if I wanted something bigger than my printer could produce. Shortly before I got a high-res film scanner, I stopped getting prints with developing. > Even his typical shooting (30x36exp rolls) would cost $600 for the > event. That's essentially the cost of a K10D right now. Well, I was paying US$ 20 per roll for 24 exposure rolls. The 36 exposure rolls ran about US$ 25 per roll. So 30 rolls would run me about US$ 750. And I still had to rescan the good stuff at high resolution and post-process the scan. I got the *ist D a couple of years ago, and haven't shot a frame of film since. So I don't know what the costs would be today. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
