    Hello all,

    I have about 14 rolls of film to develop, some are 24 exp rolls and some are 36 exp rolls.

    I'm looking to get a set of prints and also a CD of the images for each film.

    Anyone know the cheapest place to do all these.

    In Dublin city centre if possible (I live near Ashtown on the Navan Road).

    Thanks in advance :D

    Most places will give you 10% at least with 10 rolls or more that you get dev'd.
    To save some money it might be an idea to get them developed only and put onto CD first to have a look at the images and only get the shots printed that you really want. plus if you want duplicates you can save some more money as digital prints get cheaper the more prints you get done in one go.
    If you do go down the route of developed only and scanned to CD, it might be cheaper still to get them printed from an online place (I know aldi or Lidl have a photo printing service online now thats meant to be cheap!?)

    It depends on what type of prints you want too.. I've had experiences of places scanning for CD at such a low resolution that if I wanted to print off that alone they'd have been abysmal, even at 6x4 (only about 300kb per image...). I was quoted 14 quid per roll for high resolution scan and no prints though :eek: So if you're just going to get them scanned and print digitally make sure wherever's doing it will scan them decent enough for you. Of course that assumes they know what they're talking about. You'll get the negatives too though...

    I've used Camera Exchange quite a bit and always found them decent.

    After some bad experiences I could recommend only Shankill Photo Centre. I think it could be possible to start some discussion there.
    Quality of their services is very good.
