Here develop and scan to CD is about £10 (€12.50) which is in addition to film

I bought it mainly as a backup in case anything goes wrong with my M9, but having said that i shot film for around 40+ years from the age of 14 and it will be good to play with it again. Back to the world of exploring which film is best handled by the processors I guess because i don't want to get into the processing side of life, which I never did enjoy. it should arrive on Tuesday complete with an 'Artisan' half-case and a Leicatime strap - such class!
