Hello Dave, If/when I shoot film, I just have the lab process the film - no prints. They give me back a sleeved roll for the cost of US $2.50. The wait time for this is about 10-15 minutes. Then, like you, I scan and use a digital process for the rest. I would be curious to know what the cost per roll is to process yourself.
