Developing 35mm
Discussion
Thinking about getting a cheap 35mm lomo camera. Having not used film cameras for years I have got no idea of the associated costs. I can pick up 35mm film cheap enough by I'm not sure about the processing.
How much would I be looking at to get a single 35mm film printed?
I'm assuming the 'stick it in the post' places would be cheaper than a high street option.

My local Tesco Extra still seems to have 35mm processing facilities although I have not used them for some time.
They were OK about skipping the prints and just getting images scanned to disk. Total price was the cost of the disk which back then listed at about £2 iirc.
The scans were not necessarily the best in the world but were adequate for seeing what was on the film or sharing on the the net. I rescanned any that looked worth doing.

I think Tesco have dropped it. Jessops will do dev & scan but the scan qality isn't very good and one I had done there for convieneice was covered in dust and I watched him roll the negs up into a roll and put in a film canister - ungloved hands so I assume finger prints and scratches abound. As I don't need them I'm not bothered but they'll be useless!They were OK about skipping the prints and just getting images scanned to disk.

I normally use club 35 http://www.club35.co.uk/ the right mix of cost and scan quality.

the developed film was taken out of the dev machine and fed into the Epson scanner. The film strip was just left hanging there draped onto the floor. Good job they weren't important! Just a test shoot for a later studio set up; 50's smoky jazz club - backlit model & saxaphone. Those will go to club 35 and I'll shoot digital too.
