If you have a PhotoUSA close by try them out. I've been taking mine
there for some time now.

Subject: Places to get slide film
developed (was RE: [APML] Number of APMLmembers?)
Hi Michael,
Welcome to APML! Glad to see another
fellow LX90 user trying out film astrophotography.
I'm in the
same boat as you in that no one locally processes slide film.
Surprisingly enough, I started taking my slide film to Wal-Mart and I've
found their quality is consistently excellent. I was told to make
special mention of it by printing "SLIDE FILM" on the envelope when I drop
it off. They send it off and it takes about 1 to 1 1/2 weeks to come
back. That's still quite a while to wait, so my wife and I are putting
together a dark room (slowly). But in the meantime, Wal-Mart works
great. They are also the cheapest around. Definitely best bang
for your buck. If you don't have a local Wal-Mart, then you can buy
mailers online from places like B&H Photo and send them off to be
developed that way.
Hope this
helps,
Jason

Subject: Re: [APML] Number of APML
members?
been a member of the group for only a
couple months so I can't really
comment how the group is to run but
if I may make a statement anyhow...
I just started
browsing through this subject and honestly cant see why
the concept would
even come up as to changing to a digital forum The way I
understand
the formation and reason for this group is being a place for
those in to
"film" photography can learn and explore(?). If I want to learn
and
explore "digital" photography there are many forums and groups doing
just
that but this is the only place I know of that has a large collection
of
Film people.
My suggestion would be to keep this
as a film group and create a new
group for Digital. Traffic
may slow to a crawl here as film becomes less
and less used but at least
those of us that wont go to digital "yet" will
have a place to get
information from educated/experienced people and wont
have to wade
through the digital noise.

P.S. There's only a
handful of photoshops left in this area that still
develop film and none
do slide film. Stinks that I'm just getting
comfortable taking
astrophoto's and there's virtually nobody that can
develop
them.
:-(
