- I recently moved to the South Bay and am looking for a good,
- reasonably priced place to get my color film developed, in Palo Alto
- or Mountain View. Alternatively (since this post is going all over
- the world) I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a good mail order lab
- (i.e. not Kodalux). I actually like the idea of using a mail order
- lab even if there are no cost savings: it avoids the hassle of
- dropping film off somewhere and having to pick it up. I can't believe
- how much more of a slave to the automobile everyone is down here.
-
- By the way, if you are in this area, *avoid* Photo Drive-Up at the
- corner of Rengstorff and El Camino. I brought them 10 rolls of film
- recently and they screwed up nearly all of them, did a free remake,
- and screwed up most of them again. It was obvious that the
- technicians were burger flipper types who didn't give a damn about
- what they were doing. (I can't hold this against the technicians
- personally but the management should have never allowed things to get
- this way. I used to use the PDU in Berkeley sometimes, and they
- generally did a good job).
-
- Note: if you have a local recommendation, please send by email
- since most readers are probably not also interested. But if you
- have a mail-order recommendation, might as well post your reply.
- I'll summarize emailed replies here if interest indicates I should.
- Thanks.
