Local photo processing - outlets with reasonable prices

We have three outlets with the same reasonable rates, terms and conditions applicable to developing and printing. They charge 12c per print without an additional developing fee, irrespective of how many prints come out. For example, if only one photo comes out, the charge would be 12c.

They do not offer a "one-hour" service. However if the film is handed in before 9.30 a.m. it would be ready after 5.30 p.m. As part of the film developing transaction they offer a choice of either 12, 24 or 36 exposure film for Lm1. The three outlets are:

The Orange Tree, 90, High Street, Sliema, tel: 2134-2868. Owner Mark Bugeja, mob. 9947-4444.

Lilywhite, 58, St George's Road, St Julian's, tel: 2137-5921. Owner Denis Debono.

Tekno Electronics Ltd (managing director Jackie Camilleri) in Msida (tel: 2132-2553) and Mosta (2141-0331).

The fourth outlet, The Foto Studio in Independence Avenue, Mosta (tel:2143-8825), general manager Jason Axisa, offers the following:

Developing and printing at Lm2.60 for a 24-exposure film and Lm3.80 for a 36-exposure film. The price is based on a fixed charge in that, if not all the 24 or 36 photos come out, the price remains Lm2.60 for a 24-exposure film or Lm3.80 for a 36-exposure film. This rigid rule is compensated by the fact that one can choose the size of prints from 6 x 4 (matt or gloss), 5 x 7 (gloss), 6 x 8 (gloss) sizes. Lm1 for an optional 24-exposure film (Fuji 200 or Solaris 200, ex-3M brand). Lm1.30 for a 36-exposure film. Choose from 6 x 4 (matt or gloss), 5 x 7 (gloss), 6 x 8 (gloss) sizes; extra photos, i.e. 24+, or 36+, 6 x 4 at 12c each, 5 x 7 at 15c each, 6 x 8 at 25c each. The Foto Studio also accept films by post. If the developed work should be sent back also by post add Lm1 + self-addressed envelope with appropriate size for the chosen photos. No optional film by post.
