I went to Wal-Mart planning to have them send the film out. The guy who ran the one hour services seemed to know his stuff, so I had him process the film. I just picked up the finished work. He did a decent job. I think the trick is to maintain the Frontier processor and let it do the work. I'm indeed rusty using a rangefinder. Nowhere was that more evident than with the 21/2.8 Elmarit ASPH. That's a difficult lens to use. It's capable of producing the most interesting images.....or the most boring. It's either one or the other with that lens. There's no middle ground. On a lot of 21/2.8 shots I either didn't get close enough or I missed aligning verticals. I got several that are good enough they'll make me forget the bad ones. I really like the BW 400CN. I'm going to buy more and I won't hesitate to use Wal-Mart for processing. I wish I'd ordered scans, too.

We have a Fuji lab here in town that picks up and processes normal jobs dropped off at Wal-Mart, but I had some quality problems with their work. I now use Wal-Mart's One Hour Processing exclusively, and their scans are fine unless one wants to make prints larger than 8x10.
