There were other efforts -- a company called Seattle Film Works  sold movie 
film 
(as used in Hollywood back in the day <g>( spooled  into lengths suitable 
for 35 
mm photos, and then distributed slides and  prints -- but not the actual 
negatives(!) and as an added option --  digital prints (in different 
sizes/dpi) 
for a small extra fee. These  varied in quality.>>>>
 
I didn't ever sample this product, but it was spoken about in hushed
tones by some of my friends and coworkers during my years at the
97th General Army Hospital, Frankfurt/M, Germany.
 
Of course cameras and film and photography in general were big
items for the Military stationed in Europe where literally everything  was
considered photogenic.  Photography equipment, if stocked by the
post exchanges, was a good bargain.  Unfortunately so was  wine/beer
and hard liquor which didn't have a lasting positive effect on many  of
us.
