Otherwise, I sure as hell don't want my negs eaten - What's the point of shooting film if you don't have negs and don't have scans that will get you good prints as large as you'd make after scanning negs yourself? Otherwise it sounds like the pricing's awfully high...$14something to develop and produce a single set of prints from a 36 exp roll? They ought to cut the print price in half so that you'd get doubles for that price... - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us] On Behalf Of Jim Hemenway Sent: Monday, February 09, 2004 10:18 AM To: Leica Reflex Forum; LUG Subject: [Leica] Kodak 15 minute photo finishing I just now heard on CNN that Kodak has announced a self-service ATM-like machine which will process film and deliver prints in 15 minutes. It will process the film in 5 minutes, then allow the customer to view, crop/enlarge the pictures on a screen and then print the pics. Cost will be $4.00 for processing which will include a CD containing the images... no negatives will be returned. Each print will cost 29 cents. Machine cost is $35,000. CVS stores in New England will have them in place in a couple of months.
