In that case I wouldn't bother with a warming filter.

Scanned Ektachrome appears to lean cooler because it is colour balanced for the purpose of projection, typically by a tungsten halogen lamp. Scanners see and interpret it differently. It can usually be corrected in post-processing, but I occasionally use a Hoya 81B if the scene requires it.

I had a job booked in with PPP for August but last week got an email to say he was cancelling all jobs due to failing health.

I have used Come Through Lab in Manchester extensively over the past year. I often had C41 scans sent to me on the same day they received the film. B&W typically 24-48 hours, E6 & ECN2 just over a week. The negatives always come back spotless. I have had a couple of hiccups that aren't unusual...

Expected to be delivered 29th October according to Amazon. I'm guessing the order won't be fulfilled with such a long lead time.

I was gifted a 35mm roll of Harman Phoenix. I had tried it when first released and found the results quirky and generally underexposed, so decided to overexpose by a stop this time. Still just as quirky! I don't think I'll be buying it with my own money and I'm not sure if I'll hang onto the 120...

They say 10-14 days but in my experience it can be anything from 2 days to 14 days. I assume if your film arrives as they are about to run a batch of E6 you may get lucky.

I assume you are referring to Come Through Lab. I have used them extensively for the past 6 months for C41, B&W, and E6, and my experience has been nothing but excellent, both in terms of results and customer service. The only time they made an error, when the scans of some 120 Ektachrome had...

Thanks for the tip CT. I found this out within about 10 minutes of opening the box! Luckily it didn't stop with a whack but it was enough to teach me to be careful in future. I actually quite like the push-pull design but it does have it's drawbacks, this being one of them.

DISCLAIMER: This was just a first play and a few snaps, nothing was set up properly and I didn't put any effort into taking properly composed pictures. This was just a quick play to see how the IS worked! The new lens arrived this morning and after trying to get my head around the push pull...

There is a discussion on this going on over on another forum and I thought it would be interesting to hear your views on the matter. After a member posted some candid photographs over on another forum, the issue of legality and morality when taking candid pictures involving children kept...

Can anyone recommend a lab that will develop film and scan the negatives onto CD as well? The local Boots and other such places do it but the resolution and sharpness is quite poor. I'm using both negative and slide film if that makes any difference at all.
