I just want from a quality film to last a few decades without obvious degradation.
Fair enough, though I guess you'll be smart to archive things digitally these days.
I mean - even if your negs still look great in some decades - there most likely will hardly be any chemicals / paper left to enlarge them the traditional way, and it even if there is it will cost you a fortune.
Always scan everything and back up to Dropbox.
I gave about 8 rolls of cine 50d to develop, shot from Rio to Bolivia, hopefully a couple won't be crap.
