I have never had them come back with dust. I am not sure where they are developed, but they come back in the standard yellow Kodak box. Price isn't too bad, either. I refuse to give up my K64 until it is gone from the market. I love the grain, color, saturation and most of all the longevity of storage. Maybe with digital scanners that isn't as much of a consideration since you can burn it on a CD. Of course, as formats change, you have go be sure to change formats or you might find yourself 20 years down the road with a CD that no computer can read or a format that no software can understand. Having an original is always a good idea. Aram
