Sometimes it seems like you have to run an obstacle course. Avoiding x-rays
in the airport and in the mail and then avoiding processors who screw up your
film. The professional labs in Houston charge between $7.50 and $7.75 per 36
exposure roll to process and mount your slides with a 2 to 3 hour turn
around. I find that to be very reasonable pricing and service. Although it
may all be the same, my level of comfort with a professional lab is greater
as my perception is that probably watch their chemistry and processing closer
than do the consumer labs. This may be an illusion, however, to the degree I
believe it, I guess it is my reality. And yes, the pro-labs I use have from
time to time screwed some stuff up. I'm assuming Snappy Snaps is like one of
our One Hour Photo places here in the US. Bill Barber
