Can anyone help me with recommendations for 35mm E6 (slide film) processing please?

I am looking for cheap and cheerful rather than expensive but good.

many thanks...

I am at loss to know why you spend a lot of money ln kit, spend a great deal of time and effort taking photographs and then choose to have the film trashed. The difference in cost between good and cheap and cheerful is probably negligible. Try here link

Nope, don't spend a lot of money on kit... the camera cost me under a tenner.. The film was practically free.. the extra time is also negligible as I shoot just the odd frame on film along side the digital.

Thanks for the link though.

I would recommend The Darkroom in Cheltenham, first class service and affordable. Never had a bad experience over many years using them. - link

I've found the Darkroom in Cheltenham to be OK - £5.50 a roll process and mount - still use the plastic boxes but don't mark the exposure number on the mount. Otherwise, there is always Fuji Labs. They have changed licencee in the year just gone, and were "off line" for some time as a result (hence used The Darkroom). Probably back up now but haven't checked recently as haven't shot a roll of slide film since the summer.

Forgot all about this post but just to give it a happy ending.. I got two rolls back from the Darkroom in Cheltenham and results were very good.

Many thanks to all the above.
