But OK, I will just shoot film until then. I just discovered how quick "my" lab in Barcelona (and the Spanish post office) can be. On Monday I sent 3 rolls of film to Copia Lab in Barcelona. This afternoon I got an email from them that the negatives were ready and would be sent to me as soon as they got my back transfer of 17 Euro. So...make transfer, e-mail them the PDF receipt, and a few minutes later an e-mail from them saying that the negs are with the courier. Not bad at all!
