the main reason why i posted is that somebody gave me the idea that you
can have film developed only without prints being made - and have the
developed shots burned to CD - all this for less than having the prints
made (supposedly) - just trying to gauge how popular this option is -
if at all.


I'm confused - I thought in your original post you mentioned that you
don't want to do it yourself.

Anyway, forgot about the Develope only - route - I bought a Dimage 35mm
film scanner - it scans both negs and slides - but it can to time
consuming, especially cleaning the dust off the scanned images in
photoshop - for that reason it would be better to shool slide and use a
loupe to decide which images are worthy enought to go through scanning

The scanner was $200 if I remember correctly. A professional D+P store
will probably charge at least $10 for the prints - so 20 rolls of film
scanner rather than printed and the scanner pays for itself.
