I worked at a photo lab geared to professionals. To process slide film and do it right, is a lot of work. We were a certified Q-lab from Kodak. I would process a strip of film that they sold us, and box it up, and mail it back to them, and they read the values with a densitometer of their own. I plotted our own test strips, all the process the film to a high standard that a traveling pro could drop off his film, and know it was going to come out with the proper colors and density.
We had one room we set up for pros with a large light table, comfortable chair, and a phone. They would look at the film they shot, and pick the best shots. I would scan them and upload them to the magazine or newspaper for them.
We had a large safe from an old jewelry store full of camera gear. More than a few photographers would go broke, and come to us to sell off their camera gear. We bought a lot of Hassleblad and Nikon gear. I loved the Superwide Hassleblad. It was a cool camera.
