Gee- So serious. Actually I use the local Supermarket to develop my prints. In general I am happy with the results about 85% of the time. I know of one 1 hr photo place there the guys are professional and do a REALLY good job. To me the advantage of the 1hr photo over the supermarket is that I can explain what I want or what problems will arrive. I don't believe I will get that kind of attention through mail order. Which also I've seen others use. Their result seem alright and the price is cheaper. Regarding developing film. Michelle you may want to consider developing the film on your own. There are several kits you can use, it's not too hard to do, and you will retain controol of processing the negatives. Bsteph
