Where do you have your film processed?

Where do you have your slides processed? I send most of my film through the Fuji mailers since they are so economical (The film goes to Dwayne's). I also send to Dale Labs and Praus Productions.

I also use the Fuji mail service here in Germany. Quality is excellent and turnaround time about one week. Price is also very economical.

I shoot mostly E-6 or B&W. I process both myself. If I need something fast or I can't chance doing it myself I use The Finer Image. They are located here in Danvers, MA. It's a small 2-3 person shop. Same day service! It would probably be to far of a drive for you, but if you need E-6 fast it may be worth keeping them in the back of your mind. I hope you didn't get flooded with this rain. It's been a wet one for sure here on the North Shore today.

Sent some Fujichrome film off on the 14th August to Fuji processing and it still hasn't arrived on 1st September! I send it to an address about 50 miles away! On the 12th August sent a couple of Kodachrome films off. These were posted from the UK to Switzerland, then they are posted to the USA, processed, sent back to Switzerland and I received one a couple of days ago and the other one today (1st September). So Fuji what has taken you so long? And well done Kodak! The few Velvia 50's I have used where processed by Jessops. They send the film away then contact me by phone to inform me that it is ready for collection. Now that is what I call service!

Cheers Chris

Long live Kodak!

I'm lucky my local prolab is an official Fuji processing station (they do any E6 films) and they process them in two hours, so I can drop them off before I do my shopping, and collect them on the way home.

I use Transpacolor in the UK. I've always had very good service from them, quick turnaround (by post) and a reasonable price. No problems with them so far. There's no local service near me so it's just as well that I like them!

I use the kodak 6 step kit, works well so far

Chris Sweetman- Was this the Fuji Lab.at P.O. Box 136 Leeds ?

benjiboy - I sent the film to a PO address in Warwick as per mailer. The processed film was returned from Leeds.

Chris- It might be quicker to send it direct to Leeds the address is Fuji Film Labs, PO box 136, Leeds LS10 9BX Phone 0113 244 8221.

I have been having scratches on my film through Fuji mailers lately...they replaced the film and mailer but the slides are trashed. I am going to stick to Dale. A little more expensive but worth it.

Hi Ektagraphic I wasn't all that impressed with Fuji's processing either! Plus they took too long to return the film - five weeks! One of the advantages of E6 was supposed to be fast turn around! When Kodachrome processing has finished I will go back wholly to digital unless I can find a processor that is fairly priced and offers a fast service.

I've tried Metro colour Labs in Birmingham recently because someone recommended them on-line, and I'm very impressed with the quality of their work and they are very reasonably priced http://www.metrocolourlab.com/index_...lourlab_E6.htm I've also had some 120 C41 colour film developed and printed by them and they are also excellent.

The last few E6 films I've processed myself; prior to that my favoured lab was "The Darkroom UK Ltd". They charge £4.50 for processing only and this includes VAT and postage both ways. I still have some Boots slide film left which is process paid, so that goes to the Warwick lab; they take 10-14 days to return it. If you buy on a "3 for 2" offer at Boots it works out about £5.33 per film, which is including processing, plus about £1.40 for postage to the lab.

Wal-Mart. It goes to Dwayne's. Cheaper.

For the last several years (2008 or so), I have used Dwayne's, initially for Kodachrome, more recently for my Ektachrome work. Having moved home last September after five years in Deadmonton, AB., I am now considering, for sake of convenience, checking out our local labs here in Vancouver. Most likely, when I have accumulated a dozen or so rolls, I will give ABC Color a shot, and see how the locals stack up...
