I'm posting KODALUX/Qualex's Photo CD prices (both list and net) so that
everyone can get a good idea of the cost structure of the business.  

Summary: getting your 35mm pictures onto Photo CD will cost somewhere between
$0.50 and $2.00 per image, depending on the circumstance.  Not surprisingly,
the lowest prices are when all the images on a roll are transferred to Photo
CD at the time they are processed.  The steepest prices are when you bring in
already processed film and ask for selected images to be transferred.
