Less than 3 bucks if you send it off, Walmart is about 6 bucks now.

The trick is to send of several rolls at a time but I got impatient.

I got the seal material last week, theae are the first shots after installation.

It's a simple job but the mirror damper drove my old fingers crazy!

I don't really want to pay for prints but Walmart and most other places don't have a develop only option. My scanner is slow but I can do a better job.

Not many labs do wet prints now, they scan your negatives and send you digital prints.

I was thinking of snap fish, $3.

They do as you describe, give you digital files from your film.

My local walmarts will do “develop onlys”, and only charge 2 or 2 bucks to do so. And that’s for 1 hour. You do have to explain it to the folks at the counter.
Walmart also does E6 slides and 120 film but that’s all send out work and it’s best to bypass the folks at the counter. They will tell you that they can’t do that.
I use an Epson V500 scanner which works faster than the older scanners and does a fine job. Now I need a better printer, my Canon Pixma MP250 does awful prints even on glossy photo paper.

Where do you get the parts and supplies?
About 5 years ago I tried to get an authorized repair shop to work on the meter of my Nikon F2SB, which slowly faded over the years.

They flat out refused to do it.
