I found that if I sent my film to their regular processing lab, a Fuji Lab here in town, I had to pay for prints in order to get a CD. HOWEVER, by using their 1-hour processing in the store, I could get a CD plus an index print for about $5.60 plus tax. To me, that is much less expensive than buying a top-line scanner. The only downside is that I still have 50 years of negatives that I would like to someday scan selectively.
