That's just plain unfair. I pay $10 CAN (about $6.40 US) for a 36 exp E-6 with mounts (plus 14.5% tax!). Oddly, if I buy the film including the identical pro processing, I pay about $12 a roll plus the same tax. That settles it, I'm moving back to Spain. ;-) Art Roger Eritja wrote: Europeans enjoy paying too much for everything.

I believe overall French workers (on average) work the lowest number of hours per year, due to shorter work days and longer vacations relative to workers in the industrialized world. If my memory is correct, they also get paid considerably more per year based upon their actually work time. I consider this a GOOD thing, BTW. There may indeed be less variability in pay scale from the wealthiest to the poorest, as well, which I also think is a GOOD thing. The US (which is supposed to be a classless society), has some of the greatest disparity between workers salaries. France also has some of the best child oriented social programming in the industrialized world (another GOOD thing). For being the wealthiest country, the US is still below many for child mortality rates, average life span, literacy, the medically uninsured and other values normally considered important in an enlightened society. They do, however, lead the world for percentage of their population in prison. It isn't all about cheap film processing. ;-) Art Anthony Atkielski wrote: Roger writes: I did not know that, in spite of being an european myself... Many Europeans do not know that they are making far too little money for the work they do and are paying far too much for goods and services. That in itself is not surprising. The weird thing is that, of those who _do_ know, most think it is just fine; they seem to equate a decent standard of living with evil, or something. In any case, their (voluntary) loss is the United States' gain. ... here in Spain I am paying 3.00 Euro per E-6 (or C-41) 120 processing (2 hours). Is this a pro lab, or a so-called consumer lab? I haven't found any non-pro labs that develop 120 here in Paris, although there might be some, somewhere. I certainly wouldn't mind getting it developed for ยค3 a pop.

Arthur, Champion Imaging in Montreal does it for $C8.00 Maybe your lab could match that price...or do better ? http://www.championimaging.ca/English/Film_Processing.html - Original Message - From: Arthur Entlich [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 18, 2002 12:33 AM Subject: [filmscanners] Re: OT: Film processing costs (WAS: Re: Prints fromscans ...are there reallydifferences any more?)
