It's reputation has gotten a little worse over the last several hours! After fiddling with a couple nice frames of 35mm I finally went back to the location with the Oly C5050 and took a couple of quick shots. A few minutes in PS Elements, Print, Done, Nice! From a Point and Shoot! (Albeit a VERY nice one.) I'm got some real concerns here, I've got some great film gear but it doesn't do much good if it can't be turned into decent prints in a reasonable amout of time/money. I REALLY don't want to set up a color darkroom again, and I hate sending film away for printing, too much control lost. The local labs are little more than 1hr photos. Or WAY expensive. The D is sounding less expensive all the time.
