The Places We See Pentax

Nowhere Matt · 03-24-2009, 02:30 PM

My favorite grocery store chain has been using these envelopes for film and photo services for at least six years but it just occurred to me yesterday how some of you may get a kick out of it.
I have been shooting some film since my digital is being serviced so this is a scan of a recent order envelope proudly featuring the Pentax ZX-50.

I may also be worth noting that the Target store in my area has Fuji film on clearance discount. $4 for a four roll box; which is almost half off. Including the film and the processing and printing, that works out to, like six cents a print for a final product in my area.
The woman at the check out said, "Doesn't everyone have digital cameras?
"Yeah I have digital and film cameras but if they are going to sell it for a dollar a roll, I'm gonna shoot some film too."
I grabbed a few that do not "expire" until mid 2010.

I wonder if that means Target is going to phase out their processing like Wal mart did. The Target here has the small machine though and it seems o.k. It may be a corporate decision though.

If I want to see Pentax somewhere, I have to take it there myself.
