Hi Bruce and Bill, I agree you can't do it cheaper that that, but you missed the point :-)
I like to have control over the whole process, not having to wait for processing when I want to work on it immediately. And to know that any scratches, dust and fingerprints are MINE and not the result of careless lab processing. Cost is not really the issue. (BTW, they took 3 days and over $3 here to do a 120 color film overhere) The most important question is, are there chemicals that can be mixed in quantities for a single (or at most 2) films ? Or are they even available pre-packaged in those small quantities ?
