Thanks for the tip Keith. Here is what I have done and found out so far. 1) I ordered film and mailers from B&H and when I have worked that system, actual total costs, times etc. I will report back. All of you can see the costs for film and mailers in Shutterbug but I do not know whether the mailers include postage nor how long the service takes. 2) I surfed to http://www.shriro.com/usa.html and sent them an e-mail asking about SCALA services. They answered saying yes they could help and told me to call 206.623.8113 and ask for sales support. Sales support told me that if I hand them the film at their offices they would have it back developed into slides in five to seven days for $8.50. Hey with you LUGers help this soon to be Leica/SCALA kind-of-guy is on his way. And it is not going to cost that much either since I got good deals on my new cameras and lens from Eli at Wall Street, the equipment is working just fine and now I have found a film that is something else again. Thanks Keith and the rest of you. Now if I just had as much adventure in my blood as Tina. And her hard learned skills too. Then I could start creating something that I and other people would enjoy. Like I did 40 years ago with my Antarctic slides. Dale - -- $ dale-reed@worldnet.att.net Seattle, Washington U.S.A. $
