Island Photo

If I remember correctly, the Island Photo counter in Greenhills used to be located at the second floor of the old Manilabank Arcade.  I'd get my negatives developed there, together with contact prints so I could identify which pictures I'd ask them to print in regular size.  You have to remember it was expensive to have big prints then, and contact prints made it so much cheaper to continue the hobby.  Island is still alive and kicking these days, and I understand that the store can still print out hard copies from both soft files and from film negatives, which is good if you still have your 110, 126 and 135 strips stashed in storage (I wonder though if both Ektachrome and Kodachrome rolls can still be processed into prints).  My Kodachrome rolls would take up to 3 weeks to process then, as batch processing was done in Oz, and the developing costs would be very high.
