But recently, a local corner store (and as far as I can tell coke dealer!!) decided to get into the mini lab business - probably as front! Anyway, the minilab went bust and ANOTHER corner store bought up their equipment and supplies. Finally, they decided Pizza slices and film processing didn't go together. One of the local photo stores bought their processor. BUT, they had a whole stack of Neopan which a couple of us bought up (they also had Agfa slide film...). Hate to think what conditions it was kept in, but it's in the freezer now and I aim to give it a try again. But can you imagine it, a corner store trying to sell Neopan to it's customers!!! Tim
