Harrison:

I second that.

I'm a bit lucky in that I go to the Issaquah, WA Costco, just across 
the boulevard from Costco Corporate HQ.

This lab is where they trot out any new photo processing gear - they 
premiered the Fuji Frontier system here a couple of years ago.  I've 
seen acouple of newer Fuji printers installed that I haven't seen at 
the other stores yet.

They also have the advantage of Costco's corporate photo services group 
across the street, so the training is first rate.  Overall, I'd say 
Costco has the best consumer C-41 service in a "walk-in" environment.

I've also had some Kodak 100 Pro chrome scanned to disc here.  Not 
fabulous but not bad either.  Photoshop adjusted easily.

For the very best in B&W work, I always go to Panda Labs in downtown 
Seattle.  They get boxes full of wedding film from all over the 
country, and still to hand retouching of finished prints.  A dying art.

Regards,

Bob

I have found the local COSTCO does an excellent job with both color and 
B&W at a very reasonable price.  Also when they make a CD for you they 
use the gold CDs which are supposed to be better, longer lasting.
