Not so long ago I had an SLR and was shooting film faster than I could
keep up with having it processed, then said SLR was stolen, and I went
digital for reasons of logistics and economics. I still have,
however, a sizable amount of film I need processed/printed (literally
dozens of rolls).
What would be the best option for handling these? I'd like to have
them processed by someone who's going to do a halfway decent job, but
considering the volume I'd like to keep the cost reasonable.
The film is all run-of-the-mill 35mm, no unusual processes. I'd
pretty much like two sets of matte prints from each. I don't need
digital scans (unless they're really cheap or free) because the
quality I get from lab scans is never all that good anyway.
Are Snapfish or York reliable enough to send it out to? Their prices
are very good.
Or, alternatively, is it possible to go straight to Qualex or someone
with a very large order and get a better price?
Any other reasonable choices? I'm in the Boston area, if that matters.
