I've started taking a series of photos on my Yashica-Mat, but have no idea what to do with the medium format slide film once it's developed. I would love to get prints made of them, but apparently this will cost me at least £20 a print. I'm going to take about 15, so maybe will end up with 10 that I like, and there's no way I'm paying over £200 to have prints of a series that will probably just pile up under my bed. Anyone got any ideas?
I've thought about ghetto scanning the slides on a flatbed scanner but apparently this is a bigtime bad idea due to the relatively low resolution of the glass.

afaik the cheapest solution when you have slide film like that you is to take a photo of the projected slide. (like just take a digital photo of the projection). there's like a whole art to that. it's the same way we transfer movie film onto beta/dvd.
but there's no real way to get the cost down while keeping the quality up of an actual print onto the photo paper, except shopping around diff developers and diff papers. (some ARE cheaper than others.) it also really depends how big you want to print. one of my bfa coursemates is doing huge prints which each run her like $100 or so each.
