Good points. For myself, I seldom want prints of everything on a roll - I'm not that good a photographer - so why pay for prints I don't want? I prefer specify develop only when I take the film in, then scan the film when I get it back, examine the images on the monitor and then only print the ones I like. That saves me money. -- Steve Sharpe [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://earth.delith.com/photo_gallery.html -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
