Plus child. No time. No money. Yeah, ideal world and some day and all i want a. to learn how to do it, and get better at it; and b. to have a darkroom to do it iin. Until then: you saw what the B&H pro lab did to that image I showed you. That was at $13 a roll to process and put on disk and they fucked up both. A not uncommon thing. I'd rather have CVS fuck it up for $6 a roll. Also I saw some lab in Kansas that looked good charging $7 a roll.
