Greetings Jim, I live in Olympia, and had just
started useing Richcolor. I was flabergasted when they
shut down and I had no idea a shortage of skilled help
was the reason. I've spoken to the people at The
Camera Shop in Puyallup and to the folks at Ranier
Photo and both of them recomended ProLab in Seattle. I
haven't talked to anyone there yet but intend to soon.
I had no concept of how hard it would be to find good
processing when I started useing my Mamiya C equipment
again. If you find a good local processor please let
me know. TIA John Robison
