Phoenix,
I include either York Photo or Clark Color Labs mailers in my bounce box, a=
s well as some checks.  When I arrive in town, you fill out the order form =
specifically for the number of rolls you will be mailing, drop them into th=
e prepaid pouce, and off they go, to be developed and sent to your home.  Y=
ou can request these free mailers from either companies website.
Note, it is more economical and lighter to shoot rolls of 36.

Hi all,

I've been looking into prepaid film mailers, and I'm kind of confused. Here=
's the deal: I have an Olympus Stylus Epic camera, for which I plan to buy =
ASA400 35mm film in either 24 or 36 exposure rolls. I went searching on the=
 web for prepaid mailers, and found a site that sells them for $6.49 apiece.

Here's what I don't get: Exactly what am I paying for? If I stick a roll of=
 film in one of these mailers, filled out with a mailing address, is that a=
ll I have to pay? Or do I also have to pay postage on top of that? And is t=
his generally for one copy of a certain size print?

Please bear with me on this. I don't want to spend a bunch of money on a mi=
stake. If someone can sort this out for me, and/or find me a better bargain=
, I'd appreciate it. Incidentally, my wild guess was that I'd go through ro=
ughly 1000 exposures on my hike (my wife and I will share the one camera). =
Is this realistic? I estimated two 24-exposure rolls per week, for 20 or 21=
 weeks.

Any advice will be appreciated. I searched the old PCT-L archives, and foun=
d little on the subject.

Thanks in advance,

Phoenix
