Some do, some don't. Because they list all their digital and film photography services as "Photographic" services the only way to find out for sure is to go into each brach yourself and check. If you ring their customer service they will only look on their list for photographic service on the website, which could be both types or just digital or branches that only offer a drop off service, so the only way is a physical check that they develop on site.Does anyone know if ASDA still offer their c41 35mm service? And is there a list of stores that offer the service?
I'm based in London and remember Canary Wharf having it but that was about 5 years ago!
Sorry if this is discussed somewhere else
...also if you can get the extension of the film dept the staff would know......for my Adsa the girls know my voice when I check with them to see if the film m\c is working.....well I travelling 8 miles once without phoning and it wasn't working

I have just updated the nifty price estimator.
Thanks for that.
I used AG Photolabs for the first time last week with a roll of XP2. Very pleased with the service and opting for the high-res scans was worth it. Much better than I've had from other places. Will try them out with a roll of colour next I think.

Changes: included Photo Express discount for TP members in calculation, rather than just a note.
Filmdev now does black and white, in both 120 and 135.
I have replaced UK Film Lab with Carmencita, since the former is not accepting orders from the end of this month, and some have expressed interest in the latter. I chose the outwards postage at the small parcel rate that gets there in a few days, rather than the slightly cheaper rate that takes 15 days. No account of return postage costs. Prices in Euros including Spanish VAT at 21%. The smallest scan they do is the medium scan: 2400 ppi for 135; a 6*6 scan ends up 2400*2400 pixels (as per their email to me).
Just a note for full disclosure: I've asked Filmdev if they can do a discount for TP members as Photo Express does, and they are considering this. Meanwhile they offered me a small discount, which I have accepted for my current order of 6 films, but may not use again unless they make something available for everyone. I have not been mentioning Filmdev to get any sort of advantage, or because I am connected with them, but just because I use and like their service. One nice thing is you can discuss concerns when they ring up to take payment. For example recently I had trouble with the return envelope not fitting through the letter box, and they will now use a different envelope for me. Also, I asked about sharpening; they sharpen appropriately for the target size, according to their judgement, but if the user wants to do significant editing or print at larger sizes they can request reduced or no sharpening. They also provide me with 6-neg sleeves and TIFFs (8-bit) at no extra charge.
My high res scans from AG were 6774 x 4492 pixels and jpg.What size were your medium scans out of interest? I'm going to try a few more labs in the next month or two and their prices seem very good.

Yup. It is confusing, hence why I posted the actual pixel resolution that I got.H'mm the link is confusing as they say the file size is the most important and not dpi....I always thought dpi was most important and the file size is what it is depending on the scan.......I'll have to keep reading it again and again to work it all out to see why my thinking isn't correct

Interesting information Chris, I'll have to give them a try. Am I reading their [Filmdev] website right, that developing AND medium sized scan for 120 C41 is only £5, with free return delivery? That seems very good. Though IIRC this is the lab that has a residential address isn't it?
As anyone some across there guys before

Their website says they process 35mm and 120 film and they are just up the road form me.
Edit I have just emailed them to ask if they still offer the service
Yes, that's right. The medium scans I got last year from the Lake District jaunt were 2075*2075 pixels, or 4.3 mp. EDIT: turns out various sizes up to 2175*2175 pixels... Next size up is £8, IIRC.
Thanks Chris, I'm going to try them out next I think. Their medium scans are £5 + free return delivery according to their website, which seems like very good value. Not sure what their turnaround time is like mind

The reason we state the size of the file is the most important thing is the amount of DATA you have in the file.
Just to add, I'm going to request no sharpening next time from Filmdev. A few of the last lot look a bit over-sharpened, though they say they are sharpened suitable for a print with very little extra PP. They suggested requesting no (or less?) sharpening if you want to do work on the images and/or print to significantly larger sizes.
So: I request negs in sixes (wouldn't apply if 120... last year I got my 120 film in a Kenro sleeve), TIFFs as well as JPEGs, floppy envelope so it fits through the letterbox, and now no sharpening.
Pixel dimensions and file size both give the amount of data in the file. They're functionally equivalent measures, stated in different units. Except, as you can see, more people understand pixels than understand file size.
This is the least accurate phrase I have read today.
Had my CD and film back yesterday and am very happy. The scans aren't the best scans I've ever had (there appear to be some colour casts, but I'm not sure if that's the lab or a filter that I used), but for the price they are very good value. I had an issue with the CD in my Mac, so I've spoken to them and am going to be sending a small USB stick with my films for them to transfer the images to.
When you consider that I got my CD back 4 days later with big scans, for £5 and no return postage, it's fantastic value.
I think I'm going to use Filmdev for a while now and see how I get on with them. I'll use them for most of my stuff, but for anything really important I'll probably use Peak or Carmencita.
Had a look at my downloads when I got home from work but I've killed the highlights I think They're not quite blown but I don't think I can bring them back down without it looking flat and murky. Hopefully the Tiffs tomorrow will have more in them. Think I'm going to have to start using my ND grads a bit more!
I'm very surprised. Probably I shouldn't be if I were more experienced with colour negative film but I genuinely believed that ND grads were only needed with colour transparency and digital (sorry about swearing in these hallowed portals ). What was the film?
