"Yeah-but" In my little town. three years ago there were five places to
get C41 processed, including Walmart, who did several runs a day. Now there
are two. Walmart now makes one run a day and Walgreens makes a one run a
day.
I'll bet that's a microcosm of your town. Better learn to process Tri-X.
My guess is that C41 minilabs are going away.
