I wonder - would maybe it be most cost-effective for MPL to outsource
their work with a bigger independent lab?

When I called them last Fall on an order - the staff was undergoing
some kind of training.

I would truly hate to see any Minox lab services end in the US but am
worried about them staying in business.

I still may buy one of their digital cameras this year but would hate
to do so if it helps hasten a departure of the 8x11 business.
