Costco/Qualex no longer!

I was particularly disappointed to discover this last month because the good price of photo processing at Costco was the only reason I joined. I had it worked out to where I'd make up the fee on processing alone, but haven't yet reached my break-even point. Now I'm going to have to buy tires or something. Buy a laptop and Photoshop Elements (if you can't afford Photoshop CS2) and buy a digital camera. You will more than make up your membership! If it doesn't work out for you, you can return it all to Costco [except the software] within six months ... no questions asked. I have all of these. I also have a lot of undeveloped film. If you mean, unexposed film .... EBAY. Unfortunately, no. Exposed, undeveloped. |

Silver film is rapidly on the way to being a niche market product, so if you would like to keep shooting it then be prepared to go out of your way to get the supplies and services you require. That is just how it is. Costco et. al. just about completely killed off the locally owned and operated minilab and now the worm is turning again. Slides are a niche business now. John |
