Be careful with Colorado Camera.

  A couple weeks ago I called CO Camera asking them to make a print copy 
of a Realist format slide. "No trouble."  Their prints are $2.10 a pair 
-- too much for the 27 pairs I need for the upcoming APEC exchange, so I 
asked if they'd give me the internegative (so I could take it to my pro 
lab for further prints).  "Oh absolutely, we do that all the time."

   I drove over and dropped off the slide, double checking: "You _will_ 
give me the internegative?"  
   "Oh yes.  No trouble."

   A week later I went back for the prints and internegatives.  One of 
the prints has a big light leak type flare on it.  Not usable.  And all 
of a sudden it's impossible to get an internegative.  I spoke with the 
surly owner, "You can't have them.  We throw the internegatives out." End 
of discussion.

Be careful with Colorado Camera.
