Process used by Seattle FilmWorks, AKA PhotoWorks

from Bob Fleischman (RFXMAIL@prodigy.net)
Until recently, this company labeed its film as "Process SFW-XL only." Now there is a class-action suit against them, alleging that they misled the public, because the film process required is really just C-41. In response, the company agreed to a settlement in which they would, among other things, change the label to indicate that C-41 is appropriate. I handed my Girlfriend a roll of the SFW film labeled for the "SFW-XL" and told her that she should tell the lab to run it through as C-41, no matter what it says. But a store in ,New Mexico refused to take it. They told her it was motion picture film, and it would gunk up thier machine.

Who is right, here? Is there any truth to the camera store's claim, or were they misinformed?
