i had several rolls of c-41 based B&W film XP2 to be developed
today, and i went to my usual Parkway Standard Photos lab to
have it developed i was told by the lady that it would take a week.
etu ?
they closed down the processing machine in parkway. Five metres
away, the other shop said the same, they no longer do
processing of c41 films on location.
i felt a migraine coming up...
no worries, let me see, the other lab Konota would not be opened
for another four hours, where would i go in the meantime ?
took a cab to Burlington Square, heard about a shop Triple-D but
never been there.... tried the number but no answer....
"Closed on Sunday"
hmmm.... walked over to the nearby Camera Hospital to ask
Steven the main proprietor to have a look at my IIIf, the
screwmount camera didn't like my Summicron 50/f2 wide-open,
the eyes were blur while the ears were sharp, perhaps a
back-focused problem.
After some checks, my iiif was okay, so where's
the bloody problem ?
i felt the sky darken on this hot hot day, and
i trudged along Prinsep road
(... to be continued...)
