good run-of-the-mill film developer?

[freyja.livejournal.com]

anyone know a good, reliable place to get film developed around here? walmart is a little out of my way now, and i utilized BJ's exactly once and never again, because they managed to mess up both my negatives and my prints (hairs in the light magnifier thing and scratches on the negatives and soforth). i know a bunch of drugstores have them, but i don't want another bj's experience.


what i'm looking for:

-developing "normal film," i.e. black and white/color film of mainly the 200/400 speed variety.

-i'm not looking for a strictly one-hour photo (unless they are goddamn exceptional). i have noticed a distinct difference in quality between one-hour and sendaway but nobody believes me.

-less expensive is preferable. i have eight rolls of film sitting around right now.

-if they do the "pictures on cd" option that'd be cool too.

-shouldn't even have to say this, but i will! consistent good quality is a must.

so i ask you all, which place has been good for you? :)

I say if you live near Davis, go to Cameras Inc. I go there all the time and have had few problems. While Ferranti is a little better, they also seem to be more expensive, and parking in Harvard Square is the absolute worst.

When I go to Cameras Inc., I always get a photodisk and cut negatives. I don't bother with prints anymore. Hope that helps, take care!

And they do a "frequent flyer" program which can save you some dough...
