That's the *joy* of dealing with the public for you! I don't process or print any of my own film (lack of time and space - I'm sure I'm missing out), but I know the deal I want and how much I want to spend, depending on what film I've used and what the subject material is.
$4 for processing and printing a 36 exp roll is great value for the many photos and follow on reprints at that sort of price you send to family of the children growing up etc. You can't get picky at this price. For something you want a little care taken over, use someone you trust and you build an understanding of what you are looking for. Someone at some time will let you down and for my part, I often have to say the person who took the photos has alot to answer for :-) Malcolm, G0DPT -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Bill Owens Sent: 06 December 2001 14:19 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: some interesting NG thoughts on digital consumers > The piece of work in question was an estimate on restoration, which, by > the way, was a mere $40 including the print, the lowest price we ever > quote for restoration.

Like the customer I recently had who, on examining her "next day" prints, culled three or four perfectly good (well, average minilab prints) and stated she didn't know why she took them and didn't want to pay for them at 22 cents per print. Or those that examine their 3 day prints, which cost a measly $4.00 for processing and printing, even 36 exp rolls, and want a credit for those which they don't like.
