Horizon 202 machine prints

["KATHRYN L. CLARK" <kathjeff@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

For those interested in 35mm panoramic machine prints from the Horizon,
24 X 58 mm or Widelux film formats, and you live in California, I found
a Kodak lab in San Leandro that does inexpensive 4 1/2  X 12 inch
prints.  The lab is in San Leandro, Calif. (no mail order) however they
pick up at various locations in California as follows:
     Sacramento, Red Bluff, Santa Rosa, Lakeport, Fairfield, Fresno,
Visalia, Monterey, San Francisco, San Rafael, just to name a few.  Some
of the chain stores they service are Longs Drugs, Ritz Camera, Wolf
Camera, and others.  The key is making sure they are sent out to the
Kodak Processing labs in San Leandro, and not Sacramento or Manteca. 
The San Leandro lab has modified their machines to print the Horizon and
Widelux formats.  You must write in Special instructions (HORIZON or
Widelux, and 35mm panoramic 4 X 12 prints.  The actual prints are 4 1/2
X 12 inch, and are charged $.59 each plus procesing (2.25) each roll.
     I also tried Thompson photo in Knoxville.  They did a great job on
the prints, which were 4 X 12 @ .90 each plus $1.95 process.
     Another lab that has had their machines modified is Custom
Panoramic Lab, Boca Raton.  The prints are printed on five inch paper
and cost $1.50 each  plus $2.25 process.
     I did attempt to send a test roll to the Kodak processing lab in
Manteca, Ca. but they screwed them up, with a photogram explaining that
there were overlapped images, improper film advance, and a need for
camera service.  You can imagine what the negatives look like!
     So if your in Calif. and in need of Horizon machine prints, and you
can wait about 8 - 10 days, the San Leandro Kodak processing lab is a
best bet.  If not, Thompson photo and Custom Panoramic for mail order,
give great machine prints.
     Has anyone else found any other labs willing to do inexpensive
machine prints?????
