Anthony:
Are the prices you quote the going rates in Paris?
Even the most expensive labs in NYC will develop and contact a
120 C41 roll for far less. In New Jersey (no, it's not comprable to
Paris in any other way either) I pay $2.30 for 120 C41 process
only, and pushes and cross processing incur no extra charges.
I do quite a few stock photo sales in France and notice that prices
aren't that high. How does anybody stay in business?
