What's a good place to get photo negatives put on CD? (somewhere in central Auckland)

I went to Kodak Express on Broadway, Newmarket before Christmas, and I don't really want to pay another $40 for another CD :/

Ouch! Kodak in Papakura did hundreds (300 I think) of printed photos onto DVD for me for $130ish. Either they are a lot cheaper or it is cheaper from print rather than film?

Did you ask if they would just put it on a USB Stick??

My bother in law has a negative scanner (and a lot of scanners these days come iwth a negative option)

99.9% of the cost is having someone sitting down and doing the work on the very expensive developing/printing machine... As you are well aware ;)

Have you tried ringing up the big printing companies like Snapfish etc.. see if they will do it for some rate?
