Developing Prices!?! - 05-14-2010, 02:32 PM


I got some film developed and prints made at the camera exchange today, good grief it was almost $17!!!

It was just single prints of a roll of 36ex fuji reala...whats up with that?

Walgreens from now on. I know alot of walgreens do crappy work but the one in rosenberg has always done a good job for me in the past. Their Noritzu Koki machine is practically brand new.

dDo you have a film scanner? Next time just ask for develop only and scan your own negs at home. $3.99 per roll.

$0.35 per print is the driver, which isn't too far from the norm. I think it depends on how much you want every print. How is the quality of the print and the paper? Walgreens and CVS seem to have 2nd rate paper.

The other premium may be any adjustment to the print. AZ photo lab is $7 for developing and $0.55 per print, but they actually adjust exposure and contrast. I tend to slightly overexpose with negative film, especially indoor just to be safe. Walgreens or CVS would print overexposed negatives. No point in even having them. I end up taking my 120 there a lot because i don't tend to "waste" 120 shots.

Also look at a Epson V500. They are inexpensive ($150-$175) and do a very good job. I sometimes scan and print from the digital file, especially if I need heavy corrections.
