I hadn't realized it until last week when I tried to drop off a roll .I usually shoot B&W or slide film and so rarely send out for C41, but their doors were shuttered. They were just a small store but I had them finally to the point where they understood exactly how I liked my film developed and cut. None of the mail order or local firms (except A&I) seem to understand that I like my film in strips of 6 rather than 4 because of my filing system. And most of the local places left sludge on my C41 except this one place, which was also on my commute to work. Sigh...... I feel guilty in that my use of C41 has dropped because of digital. It's much easier and cheaper for me to work with E6 or B&W instead of C41. I think ironically this will push me to do even more work in B&W simply because I don't want to go to the bother of finding another local place that does C41 in the St. Paul area. I'm happy with A&I for my E6 work. Karen - -- Karen Nakamura http://www.photoethnography.com/ClassicCameras/ - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
