Film Processing
I live in NYC, yet I send my films elsewhere for processing and scanning. I still haven't found the one with the price point and the quality and the convenience I like. I thought I did, but it didn't quite work out. I am not even aware if B&H or Adorama process any film any longer. If I were to develop my film then I very much would limit myself to black and white processing. But to make a print I'll have to either scan it or get an enlarger. As an aside, when I typed enlarger in eBay for a search on photo enlarger I got something totally different from what I have in mind, photographically. The turn around of any mail order develop and scan has been painfully slow, always to the tune of a week or ten days counting shipping. So there is really no instant gratification. One time I was at a local CVS, I asked a youngster manning the photo developing machine if they scan film while developing he says yes but when asked how big and what dpi, he was just like me, clueless. I thought he looked nerdy enough to know the in and out of his photo processing but no. I thought I might get lucky to get my film developed at CVS but I guess not. Also, I found out films are pretty expensive, a roll of 36 Tri-X at CVS is selling more than $6. I think that's pretty steep.
