This is great!

I was going to go in a couple of these directions anyway, but was trying to keep it a little more basic to start.

Color/C41, as a quick footnote, gets more expensive partially due to controlling temp. It becomes very easy to cook the film and it will look that way. Brown isn't always an attractive color.

I felt several years ago that the comparison of 35mm to digital wasn't 'fair', it was more of how close you could get to a MF like 645. Digital is really about color, but that's another post!

Digital isn't cheaper, just different. I use the same software (for the most part) for both film and digital, just a different workflow. I can shoot a lot more images for the same money, but the initial investment is much greater.

Xia_Ke your last post is particularly interesting at the moment as it show a real difference from what I'd charge or is being charged for the most part in this area of the midwest. Your C-41 prices are 20-25% lower and the E-6 is 35-40% higher.

I look forward to more responses!

By the way, is there a sales tax and environmental tax on any of your supplies in the greater New England region? We get hammered on some things, and even some of it is 'regulated' for color chemistry in any significant quantity.
