So they can look at the photos while it still seems like a vaguely good idea.
To save making an extra post:
Dee, I have a question. Why is 1-hour processing worth the extra cost and (presumably) lack of a free film?
When I was into film photography (which was only a year ago) I really saw no point in the 'fast' services. I got my photos developed by post & they took anywhere from a week to a fortnight (and the films would be sat around for weeks before being sent off). Whenever my grandmother got my photos developed for me (which was nice of her) she payed twice as much (although she went for the 12 hour, not the 1 hour), didn't get a free (which isn't really free I supose, you end up paying for it somehow) film (resulting in the 'film stock' going down by 1) and came back with poorer quality photos.
So, why is it worth it (unless your photos are urgent, in which case the answer is obvious)? or is short processing actually a whole lot better than my experience of it?
Oh, another question, do you just sit there and press buttons with no other interaction other than putting a film canister in and taking finished prints out at the end?
