What I said was that in "many" places the prices are the same. If you want to attack overly-general statements, you might want to start with your statement about making prints from digital files: "the expense is outrageously unreasonable for just a few prints." In response to that, I could easily quote your above post to me... that you are making the assumption that what fits your isolated situation and location is the norm. To be honest, I don't care what the norm is or isn't. I just wanted to qualify your over-general condemnation of "outrageously unreasonable" prices for digital prints, and to show you that there are places around where this is not true. How much do you pay for, say, a 4x6 and 8x10 from a digital file, as compared to one from film? I'm curious now. chris - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
