Frank, I can sure relate to your irritation. I normally take my film to the local Rite-Aid drug store for developing. (It's a small town here, and that is about the only place, without sending it in the mail). Prints, I usually get back in about 3 days. Slides, on the other hand, will take up to 3 weeks! You don't even want to know how long it took to get a roll of B&W prints back! <br />All I can assume, is that the slide format is going the same route that the B&W has. Not much demand for it these days, so the labs wait until they have enough on hand to make it economical to process. I guess that if we want perfection, we should all set up darkrooms in the basement. But I, along with many others, have neither the time, money, nor space for such a luxury. <br /> I have thought about getting a digital camera, but I would rather stick to my old trusty 35mm. <br />Of course, in another 10-15 years, 35mm film will probably be as hard to find as 126 film is now. <br />Yea, I got a nice old Kodak, if I could only find some film to put in it...... And when was the last time you saw flashcubes on the shelf? <br /> Ah, yes, progress... "Damned if we do, damned if we don't.... <br /> Todd C.
