At one time I noticed a post about discount slide processing for roll film. Sunset Color Lab was mentioned, which I have been using, but the owner has retired. I don't remember the name of the other lab that was posted. Sunset charged $2.00 for 120 film, and $4.00 for 220 film. The frames were cut apart and sleeved. Does anyone know of another discount lab, comparable to Sunset? Thanks, Bob

Call Joe, owner of Calipso Imaging at Santa Clara who's LightJet is famous in digital fine art printing world. Joe gives special E6 price to nature, landscape, and travel photographers, $3.53/roll for 120 and $6.99 for 220. $5.20 mounted for 35mm that's great price too. Did I even mention the $1.15 for 4x5?

These price are not on their website (www.calypsoinc.com), but you have to call them at 1-800-794-2755 and ask for them specially. If the front desk guy doesn't know ask for talking to Joe or Barbara. There are free shipping for orders over $75 since you're not local.
