Re: [photo-3d] Duh! Wrong film loaded.

[Linda Nygren <lnygren@xxxxxxx>]

Probably your best bet is to try Dale labs. http://www.dalelabs.com/
They can make slides from your negative film (they can do the developing
also or you can send them the UNCUT negatives) and send you the uncut
slides as well as your negs back. If you have the film developed first,
make sure to tell the lab not to cut the negatives. Dale could make
standard prints for you, but for the 5p you will want to talk a local
lab into doing this for you.

Cost for the slides from Dale is modest. When I tried it a few years
ago, I didn't think the quality was good enough to use this as a routine
prints + slides option, but I think they have improved their copy slide
film so in your situation it is probably worth a try. Some people have
used this option for View-Master Personal format if they know they will
want to make duplicates.

You may also discover the joys of making Holmes Cards. Several sites are
available on how to do this, or email me off line for more info. -Linda
