Incidentally if your film isn't processed by the time you are given when you hand it over, Fnac do not charge when you _do_ collect the films. Last week I took a batch of 10 films to be processed and the next day only 1 of them was ready, so I had 10 films processed for 35 FF :-) Steve - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Jim Brick Sent: 30 September 2001 06:26 To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us; leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: [Leica] Re: RE: air travel USA to Europe ?...

Paris is a whole lot different than being in the middle of nowhere. :) I mean... I wouldn't try FedEx'ing from Timbuctu either... :) FedEx between here and Europe and here and the Orient is commonplace and easy.
