Is there really a difference between all the discount processing services?
I know that I COULD go to each one and try them out, but what kind of
experiences have people had with K-mart, Osco, Fox, ???-mart, whatever
places. I mean, K-mart just sends of off to some REAL lab right? Many
places use Kodak paper (for a good look). I have been reasonably happy
with the OSCO processing (although a couple of times they cut the negs
THOUGH some of the pix once...arggggg!), but I don't feel like a REAL
photographer unless I spend big $$$ to have KODAK do it personally.

I kind of thought that many of these guys ship it off to one of those
put-it-in-one-end-&-pix-come-out-the-other machines. Are these inferior?

Do REAL people still hand process film in these fast turnaround places?
(Overnight turnaround or it's free...) or is it a big machine?
