I admit I have only had my E-6 and C-41 films processed by Pixelgrain, while B&W lab processing is mostly a crapshoot. Their small prints ("Abzüge") from slide film, 9x13 cm, are of fantastic quality, at least on matte paper.
For B&W you can also try the Farbumkehr und Schwarz Weiss Labor on Genthiner Straße 3. It's a small professional lab. I used them over a year ago for both slide, color neg and b&w. E-6 and C-41 came out fine while the B&W negs didn't turn out well, but in my case I would call it "user error".

There is also a friendly guy nearby on Eisenacher Straße 36 who develops all films including Agfa Scala. Not same day service though but next day. Did a good job on Scala, other developing I have no experience with.

Toni - thanks for posting the latest two pictures and for getting together when I visited Berlin. Hope I can come back sometime in the next couple of years. (For others viewing - I'm the one on the right in the top of the most recent two pictures - Tom)
Happy New Year to my friends on RFF!

I went around Friedrichschain and Kreuzberg yesterday, shooting pictures of all the post-fireworks garbage that was around with my Kiev-60. When I got home I started thinking I ought to get my 120mm f2.8 Biometar lens serviced - the aperture is stuck wide open. Is there some place here I could get that fixed for a reasonable price (considering just buying another doesn't cost much, either...) - the lens I have is in beautiful condition otherwise so it deserves some love and care.

Is it stuck wide open also during an exposure? It may be a feature.
Otherwise:

Thanks, looks just like the kind of place for getting Pentacon stuff fixed. I'll go there soonish.
Yes, the aperture is stuck wide open in all cases, operating the stop-down lever in the lens barrel, or the pin on the rear of the lens does nothing..
The lens is in such pristine shape and I got it as part of a cheap deal with other Pentacon/Kiev stuff, I wonder if it's been broken soon after it was bought new, and the previous owner never bothered to get it fixed, that might explain why it's seen so little use..

Well thanks, I guess you can see from the pics it was New Year's day, I was on a crappy mood, so I went out and shot pictures of all the firecracker crap that was everywhere. For some reason most of my pics, including these 3, were seriously underexposed, but looking back at them, I think that just makes them even more the way I intended

Intersting to see the results! I like the one above the most, cool symmetry and focus is spot on.

Ich hab mir gerade mal überlegt was wäre, wenn das mit ner SLR oder so aufgenommen wäre. Sehr lustig.
Hmm, meinst Du die Perspektive? Na ja, immer eine Trittleiter dabei zu haben ist etwas lästig.
Der neue Portra gefällt mir echt gut, besonders in Kombination mit der Flexaret. Das Korn sieht auch gut aus. Allerdings, die Flecken im Himmel stören mich. Der Film war beim Scannen wohl noch nicht ganz trocken.

Beim Scannen hat man ganz schön viel Spielraum hinsichtlich des Looks.

Yeah, Tony, some of the darker and maybe more interesting sites of Berlin. I like that the (subjective) main point of the photograph is taking a bit more time to be recognized, e.g. the Sofa in the first picture, or the message on the tree trunk in the secound picture.
