RE: Dale Labs has cured me of digital SLR envy
Paul, Funny you should mention Dale Labs. While visiting my friend in Hollywood over Thanksgiving I attended the Dolphins - Chargers football game. I took my slides to Dale Labs to show my friend. He lives about five miles from them. Their service was prompt and courteous. They seemed very professional. You could see that they are geared to mail order. Their 'foyer' is fairly small and their film selection - I was looking for bw - was poor. Anyway, they handled my slides with no problems. I would recommend them, either walk-in or mail order.

After 9/11 and the anthrax scare there was talk of scanning mail with x-rays in a dosage that would have been fatal to film. I hadn't heard whether any of this has been implemented but, based on your recommendation of Dale's mail order processing, I would assume that you have not run into any problems with ruined film.

Am I right? I don't use Dale, but I started mailing film to Miller's a couple of months ago. About 100 rolls later, no problem, and I'm in DC. tv
