Jonathan, I've had very good results using 35mm film and having Kodak
publish it to cd as well as colour prints. The quality of the jpegs
(500-700kb) is very good. I used 35mm ->cd for architectural pics and you
could really zoom into the detail of the brickwork, and compressed copies of
the images are about as good as 30k web jpegs get. The quality is presumably
because they are using high end negative scanners.
