After reading the threads here regarding slide scanning and development, I took the first roll of slide of my life and proceeded to Adephi/Peninsula this afternoon.
First, went to ColourLab at Adephi, scanning costs $9.90 per roll for low res and development about $6. But they can only get it done by Thursday evening, and I thought it was a bit long, so I declined.
Then went to Konota at Peninsula, scanning costs $1.20 per slide (!!!) and development at $6.50. Same thing, ready by Thursday. I declined again.
Last of all, tried Photo Friend at Peninsula. Scanning at high res costs $18 per roll and development at $6.50. Ready by Friday! Tired of looking around already, and since ckiang recommended photofriend, so I went for it.
Guys, was that a reasonable price and reasonable turnover time? Even for development alone, he told me can be ready only by Thursday. How come some of us here managed to get slides developed in one day?
