***not cheap at £13 for develop + CD***
erm at those prices I would give up film and go digital.
Thats for 6"x4" prints, a high res CD and develop. Just develop and CD is £9.45.
Still too dear for me as an ordinary amateur as I price for "keepers" (on average I'm lucky if I get 10%)...just C41 development for 35mm or medium format for £2.50 is about right IMO, if you want to use a decent lab and not a supermarket.
I have a scanner but for others the future money saved (by dev only) would buy a new/SH scanner invested now.

but it's not always about the money
My Canon A1 has been all over the world with me from Brazil to China - still a *kick* to use it. Having been in storage for many years it's now away for TLC and I hope to have it's pleasure again - and, yes, it will cost a few bob to use
but WTF it's my *hobby*
Well for many oldies there must be a price when they say "that's it" and you can see quite a few filmies are trying to cut costs by buying OOD film.
But to get the newbies/digital guys to use/try film it's not very encouraging to say:- spend £10 for dev and CD (plus cost of film), then wait to get the results back from a lab.
Ive just put 5 rolls in to Tesco - Dev only - 99p each....We'll see how they turn out !
do you have your own scanner - post some up ?
actually never understood why people buy OOD film,,,,:shrug:
I bought OOD film just to try as it was cheap off here. Will labs develop out of date film?

I see you used Snaps Photo services for those. Reccommended?
