But don't forget, you can do C-41 at home for less than any photofinisher charges and it is nearly just as easy as B&W. I do all my large & meduim format C-41 processing myself now and it is really easy and inexpensive. The chemistry I use is only 3 steps with only the first step being time and temp critical and allows for 85 deg f processing which is very easy to achieve. JCO
