Hoppy,

I think that you will find that the process/composition of the film has 
changed 
a bit since its predecessors and we are now seeing less variability in 
processing than we used to. No, the average punter can't process them at 
home, 
but then most dev shops will do you a good (ie competitive )price to process 
them -  most places in the world.

It's an interesting way fo film to go; even if speeds are somewhat limited! 
Not 
that I would suggest that other films are dropped. Anything but, C41 is just 
a 
useful weapon in the armoury.
