Anyone know a place in Medellin that will process some color negative 35mm?
I'm suspicious everything I've got is ruined from excessive scanning on this trip so I'd like to get one roll processed to see (then the rest if it's ok).
Thanks!
 
I don't know anywhere in Medellin but I think you'll find your negs are OK unless you shoot on very high speed film like D3200. When I visited Colombia I had the same fear but everything turned out fine when I got back home and processed my films. One problem I did have was getting batteries for the Leica in Bogota, apart from that and nearly being shot by the security forces for photographing on the street things went pretty smoothly.
 
Thanks for the move and the responses so far! Should I find any sources over the next four weeks here I'll report back. I count seven carry on scans and two (perhaps stronger) customs luggage scans so far. I long ago gave up trying to ask for any hand inspection in Central and South America...
 
Foto Bremen has done a decent job of processing some Portra 400 for me, quick and cheap. A short walk from the Parque Berrio metro station. Happy to report no "major" damage from all the scanning, at least that I can detect from little 4x6 prints. I highly recommend visiting Colombia!

Edit: well here's the link, I give up trying to figure out embedding all over again...
