Here's an interesting experience: go to Poland (and maybe many other cost-conscious countries) and go to the local Kodak Express or other processor. Watch people get their processed roll of negative and hold it up to the light to choose which frames they get printed, as prints are charged per unit. Watch the family point (hard, with sharp fingernails) to the ones _they_ want printing. Then watch the prints being made, everything paid for and then the negative strip (whole film still) rolled up _really_ tight and wrapped in newspaper, for safe keeping. Keeps me amused for hours...... mike - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
