If you decide you do have the time to mount slides, you should probably look into developing them yourself too -- it can be slightly cheaper and you can get push processing for free.

Re: Slide Mounts
Yes, it's pretty expensive here. Velvia is the more expensive (A friend of mine buys it for 12 usd a roll but it's caducated, out of date). Provia is about 12 usd. Sensia II about 8 usd. The cheapest slide film is CT Precisa for 4 bucks a roll. Neg film is cheaper. Supra is 4, 5 and 7 usd a roll (100, 400 and 800), Portra about the same, T-max about the same. The cheapest is the Agfa Vista 100 in por pack (without cardbox, just the canister) for less than 3 usd. Development: I pay 9.90 for development plus 36 4x6 prints and a 6x9 enlargement, in a decent minilab, attended by the owner, who is a photographer. He works very well, filtering if needed (not leaving the machine in auto). He even does some cross-printing at regular price for us his loyal customers. In other places it goes from 10 usd to 18 usd for the same basic service (the more expensive is the Kodak Express) Camera equipment, bought new is about NYC prices x2 or more (ie MZM kit is about 400 to 450 usd). Used equipment is expensive too. Saludos Albano PS: The prices of rolls is from a big distributor's store. The prices are higher at photo stores and drugstores. $16usd is pretty expensive for Velvia. Here in Australia prices for film are pretty expensive, but Velvia is only $17au ($9usd) for a 36 roll and a$12au for a 24. That doesnt include developing. - - Original Message - From: William D.

Here in Argentina, when you buy a roll of slide film, it doesn't includes the processing. So, you have the price of the film (from 4 usd of CT Precisa to 16 usd of Velvia. This prices are from a big retailer. If you buy them in your photo store, they cost between 25 and 50 percent more). Then, you have the price of processing (7 usd for processing, and about 12 usd for processing plus framing). But they use crappy cheap frames, so I prefer to pay just for processing and then mount them myself in my dear Gepe frames. I pay 8 usd for a box of 100 frames (they cost 12 to 14 in photo stores) It's no extra cost, I pay about the same, or less than having them mounted, but I obtain better frames, and I'm sure an idiot don't cut one of my slides by error (the only possible idiot damaging them is myself) Regards Albano PS: They can easily be written and re written with a common pen (and pencils too) - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Ann Sanfedele wrote: Is there any reason to think this is being changed by Kodak for any other than an economic benefit to them, btw? When we were looking at mounters, a plastic semi-auto mounter could be had for $3000, while cardboard mounters started at about $10,000. Neither did numbering. Prices rocketed up from there, but I could get a numbering plastic mounter for $7000-$8000. We got a non-numbering unit and passed on the savings to our customers (we're a low-ish volume custom lab, so the monthly cost per roll to put numbers on the mounts was relatively high compared to Kodak's cost). If their cardboard mounters are wearing out, they're probably going to replace them with significantly cheaper plastic mounters. Also, the plastic mounters are easier to run, and if you make a mistake you haven't hot-glued someone's slide. With the salaries for mass-lab people dropping the way they are, I think they're attracting fewer capable employees, so a more forgiving machine makes sense. Having seen numerous mismounted Kodachromes come back from whatever Kodak lab in the States Canada's Kodachrome processing is going to, I understand what they're up to. -Aaron p.s. since I rarely project my stuff, I leave it unmounted for easy scanning...so I have no preference one way or the other. :) - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Re: Slide Mounts Associated Stuff
Annsan others Some years ago, I was fortunate enough to do part-time work at a London picture agency. This entailed libary duties, plus stock photography. Originally called All-Action, then became Big Pictures. We started off with say 6 original rolls from one job. Get these back from the lab in trans-sleeves, Schneider loupe scissors to cut mount keepers. Make up a selection from these, hopefully comprising 20 shots with impact.The light table is around 3' x 6', perspex top and glass on top. These are hand mounted into card mounts. Then the selection goes to the duping lab by bike courier. Dupe 20 sets. Dupes come back in long single sleeves. Now the cool part. The rolls of dupes go into a German made cutting/mounting/captioning machine. It has two stacks of slide mount halves (plastic), a qwerty keyboard lcd display, and processes 30 slides a minute. All we then need to do is make up the original selection, x20. There's a black art to a selection. Then we Fedex to 20 destinations - Paris Match, Hello, Colorific, etc. All done and dusted in a few hours. Some great memories - and opportunities to use top drawer kit. Natch I never followed thru as I guess the pap work never really appealed to me, although the money can be alluring. Kind regards Peter - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Re: Slide Mounts
I use a fine point Steadler Lumocolor permanent #318 (black) which is made and sold as an overhead transparency marker. It's my all purpose pen for marking plastic slide mounts, negatives, the back of RC prints (it doesn't bleed in) and anything else smooth or shiny. Make sure you don't get the water soluble version, which wipes off. Regards, Anthony Farr - Original Message - From: William D. Sawyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks, Ann. I do write on the mounts when captioning and organizing my slides, and if the plastic prevents doing that, or requires using labels, then I'd be better off with the cardboard.
