That's good advice, but I would like to add a few caveats.
Gary and Dave and the many other great Olympians that have helped -again
thanks for the advice.
I will look into film/slide scanners (Perhaps the Olympus one) and photo
quality printers.
My next print processing will go to Mystic in Conn. Many have mentioned this
and mailed me privately about it.
[By the way, careful purchasing of Sensia with mailers gets the cost of 36
fujichromes to just over $6 for both film and development at the Fuji lab. To
me It seems that $35 for velvia is a bit over the top!]
Cheers
