Thank you for the reminder about Willow Labs
Thank you for the reminder about Willow Labs
Dear David,
I had seen them mentioned before here but I had misplaced the details in my cluttered bookmarks files.
I read their home page and I understand that they are slowing down but I think I will give them a chance to develop and print a couple of rolls for me. They are all test rolls shot to make sure the cameras are functioning correctly so if something goes wrong I won't be crushed.
Again, I appreciate the refresher!
Regards,
Tim Murphy

I can recommend from personal experience AgX labs in Sault St. Marie Michigan. As good E6 processing as I've seen, even from Kodak (When Kodak processed E6).

I hope you can get in, their latest message is that they are not taking orders from new customers, only previous customers. I suppose I could still send my rolls.

Another great lab to check out would be Indie Photo here in Philadelphia.
Professional development and great prices.

I've been pleased with Canada Film Lab. Here's a link to their site: http://canadianfilmlab.com They're in British Columbia. Incidentally, they used to be located in the U.K. and were called, U.K. Film Lab. They process black & white and color film in 35mm format, as well as 120 and 220.
If you want to use them, you would mail your film to them in Canada. For Europeans, they have a drop box in the U.K. in which film is forwarded once a week at no extra charge. After you pay them on-line and they develop your film, they put high-resolution copies of the images on an FTP site for you to download. It's easy to do. They'll give you a link. This way you don't have to wait for the images to be sent back to you on a CD.
Unless you want the negatives back immediately, they'll keep them for a while. This is to save you postage. If you use them often, when they've accumulated a bunch, they'll mail all of negatives to you in one packet. Otherwise, they'll mail you your negatives once every six months.
They have three scan sizes and charge accordinly: small (2433 pixels), medium (3047 px.), and large (3649 px.). When you get your images back, you can ask them to rescan an image with different settings and at a different size, but you'll have to pay for that.

I've had good luck with North Coast Photo for B&W and E6 and have had equally great results with The Darkroom for B&W. I'm currently shooting a few rolls of C41 color and planning to send them to The Darkroom.
Based on the last few rolls I've attempted to have developed at CVS and Walgreens, I will never use drug store film processing again.

NCPS in Carlsbad is great, I have used them for a number of years.
Conversely, I sent a roll of Scala to Dr5 over a month ago and have since emailed, messaged over facebook, and called, but have heard nothing back, though at least they haven't charged me.

I have had good results with Dwayne’s located in Parsons, Kansas. They have done a good job with b&w, color and transparencies.
