Yes, I've jumped on the Holga bandwagon, I couldn't resist for $20 :) I was wondering just where I could get processing, preferably by mail order, as I live in the mountains, and we've just got moonshine, not malls :) I found a prepaid mailer for bhphoto, but it was pretty expensive - you guys have any ideas?

Hi, That looks like what I need, but I can't seem to find any prices. It also seems that you would need to establish a credit line with them to use their services. I was hoping to just get a few here and there processed, i'm no pro :)

No need to establish a line of credit, you can pay as you go, charge it to your card, or establish a line of credit. I just have them charge it to my card once a month. Let's see, for a roll of 120 say fifteen shots runs about $15.00 for processing and proofing. Plus they put your copyright info, neg density and other info on the back of the proof. If you call them they'll gladly send you a price and service list on cd. They don't charge for supplies either, mailers, proof and order envelopes, mask cards and such. Let's see, it's $4.20 I believe for an 8x10 for film and $1.80 for an 8x10 from a digital file when you ftp to the lab. Thinking the lab ought to give me a discount for recommendations... L

Correction to that last post. It's a $1.80 for an 8x10 through ftp yo the lab if you are on the Certified Print Partner program. Which basically means that you calibrate your monitor once every 2 weeks and that you'll you except the colors the way they are when you get them back. Unless of course they botched the job noticably. I have had 100's printed through the print partner program and haven't had to send one back yet and they always look just like they did on my monitor.
