    Hi Chris. For orders up to 10 rolls it makes more sense to use the film forwarding service. The costs of this are whatever it takes for the customer to get their film to our UK address, then we cover the 2-3 day shipping to us in Canada.

    This isn't really about presets as such. Sure, the article talks about the elements that can be controlled in a Noritsu (which I'm aware of as we also run an HS1800), but they're not presets that can be blindly applied from one frame to the next, or left to the scanner to apply as it sees fit...

We have put our DHL pricing for smaller orders on our website simply because it's then...

    In practice, there are no useful presets or settings that can be saved and called up. As skysh4rk mentioned, every single frame is scanned and edited by eye, from scratch. No doubt if Fuji and Noritsu had continued to make film scanners things would have progressed, but as it is, manual...

    Help: Put an exposed roll of 120 film through the washer...

    Hey everyone. I'm new here but I was alerted to this thread so thought I would join...I'm a photographer and I run UK Film Lab. Just to let you all know, our turnaround for C41 is 10 working days. True B&W is a few days longer. We should be able to push/pull C41 from next week or the week after...
