Doesn't work so well if you WANT to continue shooting film though.
From: Bruce Dayton
Do what I did - see the writing on the wall and quit using film.
Frustration gone. :)

Helix, the local branch store where I took film, closed a while ago.
About the same time, Calumet Photo opened nearby.
They are a big pro outfit with outlets on both coasts.
Imagine my surprise when I went to Calumet, stood by the film cooler,
and asked them to do my 120 roll...
"Sorry sir, we don't develop film any more."
WTF!
I went to the smaller retailer in a different suburb and got it done.
They processed the film (E6) and made scans at the same time.
The 'high quality' scans are only 3-4 meg jpegs, about 2000x2500 pixels.
I know these are not the size that they could be, but I'm spoiled.
The K20 and K7 are giving me bigger files to work with.
So what should I do?
I don't want to process the stuff myself.
I do like checking prints or scans for good shots.
I've had 5x7's made before to check them.
Do I have to send the film to NYC?
Can I get better scans at a competitive price and do some home printing?
Suggestions welcome.
