The great advantage with C-41 is that any photographic shop that will dev 
colour
films will deal with them and generally produce usable results. I had one guy
working in a local shop who was a real expert and loved developing for its 
own
sake.

I used his successor ONCE ONLY because she produced 1 MBit jpegs and said 
they
were hi-res; even though it was exactly the same machine that the other guy 
had
used a few days earlier! It was also evident that she had no technical 
knowledge.

I was paying about ?13 for dev3elop and scan.
