Fuji made some that do a roll in 7.5 minutes dry to dry. I have some friends down the street that can hand me a roll within ten minutes of my hitting the door: about three bucks. Happy, happy, joy, joy.

More importantly for me it will scan a roll of uncut film at a time with an adaptor which is not cheap at 500 bucks but for me on the long run, worth it. ... As it turns my M's into digital cameras. Or any other 35mm film camera I might come upon. I can have my c 41 run down the street in 20 minutes uncut for a couple of bucks each. As far as I go that?s darn close to "instant".
