Is a built in timer important ? Or doesn't it matter if you have a normal timer (a good one, but not specifically dev timer) ? Oh, well, about developing color, I forgot to mention that I have my slides developed in a few days for only $7 (for a 36 roll)....and the results are really very good. But enlargements give me a really, really big headache, cause they can't make any enlargment that is sharp and has the right color balance. They're really terrible....did I say terrible ? I meant complete crap :) And as for b/w, I never wanted to shoot b/w cause I haven't been able to print myself...so all lab prints will look like those glossy, badly cut holiday snaps. :) So, do you recon it would be less expensive to do color enlargements and skip developing for color ? Thanks again =) PS That's a might big size!
