Based on that experience I cannot recommend them because they consistently scratch the films. Their only possible virtue is the low cost. Realize, too, that you are limited to using their Phoenix, Arizona, processiong plant. While that is evidently not the only site which does E6, it is Fuji's only site (in the United States) which deals with the mailers. Least anyone be questioning whether my cameras are scratching films, allow me to add that when I take films to my local professional E6 lab they *never* return scratched films. rwyble@erols.com Richard J.
