Either way it cost the same. Slides are about $8.50 to process and mount.
The film cost more and then if you want a print from the slides you blow the
budget.
Not to mention the 1/4 to 1/2 hr drive in traffic to get the slides done and
pick them up.
(your mileage may vary)
I go for 4 packs of Fuji 400 for about $10 and a trusted 1 hr lab.
at about $10 for 24 exp.
