Film developing companies.

I thought I'd just mention this as I've just tried this place and they did a pretty good job for a reasonable price, I think cheaper than Boots that is.

What other companies have you guys used and found good? (not your home labs, we all know they'll be the best )

I use The Darkroom UK or Peak Imaging. Neither are cheap but the quality is excellent. I am in the process of trying the Ilford lab for BW but so far they seem very slow. The Darkroom UK normally turn things around very quickly indeed.

I've heard good things about Peak Imaging too, and will probably be using them when I can afford to try a couple of rolls of colour 120 film.

Whichever lab Boots use for slide film isn't bad. A bit slow but the results are decent, and given film, processing and postage come in at under £10 you can't really go wrong.

hey
what is your standard process? do you usually get the film developped in 6x4? and then if there is a good one you might want to get a enlarged?

i think in the past there was a cheap way to do it, as like printing on 3x2 or so which was big enough to check whether the photo is sharp/good and then you would just re-develop the good ones..

i havent been to a lab for film development for about 7 years, just wondering what is out there. First time shooting with a film camera and I forgot how expensive it might become!

thanks - the company you mentioned are high street or is that going through the internet (i.e ship the film!?)

The Darkroom UK are based in Essex and I ship it to them. You can download a postage label from the net so you don't have to pay the postage. I get 6x4 prints and a CD then if there is anything I want to print big re-scan the neg myself.

Best wishes, Kris.

I can beat those 'Process Only' Prices -- I do B&W for several members of Forums -- £1-50 a roll, 120, 127 or 35mm I do NOT do E6 slide or 'APS','Instamatic' or 110 cartridge films though. Send me a message if interested.
