Talk:Fotomat

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

they lost some pictures i took of a trip to the former Yugoslavia, in the late 70's.

i'm still p.o.ed about it.

Can I ask a dumb question ... How and where did the film get processed? Did the person inside ever leave the booth to take the film somewhere, ... or was there a car to shuttle film and prints back and forth from the kiosk and the processor several times a day? As a child in the '70's, I always imagined that either they turned the film into pictures inside that little room, or else there was an underground tunnel under each kiosk, since I never saw anyone or anything go in or out. 4.22.114.34 (talk) 04:24, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

A: Local photo finishers were contracted to develop film for Fotomat. Pick up of undeveloped film and drop off of developed photos was done by vehicle. Depending on the size of the area, several vehicles were utilized.

Fotomates has to put up a "will be back soon" sign and use the rest room of a local business. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.42.68.6 (talk) 14:51, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
