| E6 processing in CT
The last lab I know of in Fairfield county, Connecticut, is no longer processing E6. Can anyone recommend a good lab in the area, or am I doomed to Fuji mailers from now on? New York is also a possibility, but the prices are usually higher there.
Thanks,
Patrick |

| I think mail order is your only option. I have been in the same boat you are in for three years now.

| I'm in Fairfield, too. There are no good labs. I was recommended Photographic Solutions in Norwalk, but they screwed up $300 worth of processing for me. They refunded what they messed up, but I'm still left with dirty film.
Honestly, I think I'll be sending my E6 to the lab Ken Rockwell uses in San Diego, due to their high-resolution (15 megapixels) scans, or Elevator Digital. There are quite a few good labs in NY, ask Photo Engineer. He knows of the good ones. | |

| I use Dale Labs ( www.dalelabs.com) for E-6 and they do a great job and they offer great scans at the time of processing. I have Ilfochromes made by Visual-Imgaging ( http://www.visual-imaging.com/). I have found that they have the best prices around. They do amazing work. Ilfochrome is wonderful.

| Patrick,
You might try Cooper's Imaging, www.coopersimaging.com; in Norwichtown. I have just recently used them for Black and White and C-41, and were pleased with those results. No E-6 yet, but my next slide film will be going there - this after I had a roll from A&I disappear in the mail.

P.S. Last I knew, they do have a mail service. | |

| Their prices are pretty high, and the $30 super high-res scan is only "9 megapixels." | |

| E6 Processing
There is a lab in Harrison, NY (Westchester) called PDK Labs. They are still doing E6, and I'm pretty sure they are using Fuji Chemistry. Small lab with friendly staff. Very knowledgeable.
