Thanks for the tips! Harri, since you are local, what are your favorite photo labs in Tampere?
I buy my slide film at Aammattikuva (8.60 Euro for Provia/Velvia, 8.00 Euro for Sensia with prepaid developing), have it developed at Eiri Kuva (Foto Hertell) for 3.36 Euro. I also buy print film there (NPH, HP5+). Strange thing, developing negatives (w/o pictures) costs about 5 Euros, that is more than E6 processing. For printing I only tried Super Kuva and Eiri Kuva and the results were quite unconvincing. In Super Kuva they do not even bother looking at the prints or adjusting color balance and contrast, etc. We have a slide scanner at school (Tampere Uni of Technology), as well as great darkroom (with Rodenstock lens on enlarger, and the chemicals are free). So I will be shooting a lot of BW this year.
