Tempted to send Special Delivery in future, £3 extra and tracked. Anyone else do this ?
See post #1316
Less worried about the next day delivery, more for the tracked in case they get 'lost'
I have to admit that I haven't bothered printing out the order form. I just scribble everything down on a piece of A4 paper and it works out just fine [emoji4]

So I've had the scans back from the roll I sent Tuesday. The roll I sent Monday has yet to arrive at filmdev towers after speaking to them today.
Not had a roll lost in post before, hopefully just delayed somewhere...

h'mm maybe I should make an offer of £75 for the Fuji frontier 3000 scanner
AG do, so perhaps give them a try.Do Filmdev do E6? I can't remember. Found a roll of 35mm kodak slide film that I didn't know I had...
I always think it's a little bit like that Christmas Eve feeling of anticipation I used to get when I was a child!Now I just have to endure the wait until my scans are uploaded. Definitely one of the best (and worse) things about analogue photography.

I liked them the one time I used them and would use them more if they dev’d 120.Please let me remind all of you F&C guys, This company https://www.photo-express.co.uk/ only for 35mm film still give a discount of 50p per film/order over two films.
Their service is great and returns within three days is the norm, quality is first class..

Has anyone used Photo Hippo from Burnley? It's in the nifty price estimator, I think because it used to be a Fujifilm lab. They do all 3 kinds of film in 135 and 120, and it looks like scans downloaded are cheaper than loaded to CDs. Prices not bad, free return postage.
I’ve used them a couple of times for APS films. I was happy with the service and the results, but given that the films were both long expired, I can’t really comment on quality in the same way as I could had it been a fresh film they’d processed for me.

Yeah, I know. The first time I used them was before I'd started using Peak. The second time I used them because they were cheaper and I didn't think there would be much of worth on the roll anyway (I was correct ). I can't really scan APS film myself, so it can get expensive for dev and scan / prints, especially if I don't have high hopes for the photos anyway.We do APS.

I feel like a traitor now.
I've always understood it was better to have a TIFF file so if you have to work on them they won't 'degrade' as much or is this only true of digitaly shot files?
I get everything scanned to JPEG. The hassle and cost of getting and storing TIFFs doesn't make sense for me. What kind of work are you looking to do on your photographs that you need the TIFFs?
