When Kodak stopped making a lot of its film, that's when I started with Fuji. I used to mail to Clark Color Laboratories until they messed up 2 different orders. Both orders were the only times I sent highly unusual subjects. For one, my family went to Penn's Landing for a boat ride. I shot an entire roll of ships with colorful flags. Then another time my mother and I went to see many stone bridges as well as covered bridges in northern Pennsylvania. Both times Clark's mailed me a few really bad images of someone's family. All they offered was their own roll of film and a voucher for free processing. Didn't even get a refund. A couple of the local store labs (CVS and Target) used Fuji for processing. The colors were very different than when I used Kodak processing. Even when I used Kodak film, the Fuji processed prints were more green while Kodak were more blue. So even back then, there were differences with color film processing. Days of old are long gone. I'd agonize over what images to take. It would take a while just to finish up one roll of 36 images because I didn't want to waste my money on taking just anything. There were even times I'd drop off a roll of film that wasn't finished since the local stores charged by the number of actual prints.Now we live in a society of instant gratification! Learning can be accomplished faster with digital technology. Results are immediate and free in the sense there isn't any cost for film or processing. But I'm glad I learned photography during the dark ages. It forced me to think about what I was doing because I didn't want to pay for lousy images. :encouragement:</blockquote>
