I've been a customer of C.C (Creative Consortium) for about twenty five years, they're the best pro lab in the area.I have heard good things about CC Imaging based in Leeds, I am dropping a roll of for E6 processing on Friday.
i did wander that aswell, glad someone else has asked, need to send my first batxh of 5x4 film off soon
Only B&W for me so far, so I process at home and scan.
£2+ per shot for velvia is a bit rich for my blood until I've re-learnt all the things I've forgotten about film!
However, when Winterval is over and I have some more cash I plan on shooting a box of chrome and dev'ing at home. I already have my home-made-temp controlled water bath set up and tested so it's just a matter of time! (fish-tank heater & thermostat in a plastic storage box lol)
You can buy a 3 step kit that I think will do more than suffice!
Seriously? How hard can it be? and I'd rather know that it was me who shagged it up rather than a lab or the postman losing it etc!
Ghandi, your the only one i know of on this forum that shoots large format. I was just wandering which type of light meter you use as i am after one, but i dont want to pay through the roof prices for one.
Cheers
And you can get free coffee from the machine while you wait.Thirded ^, they are the biz, not the cheapest but the best usually isn't, I have enough trouble fashioning a decent photo without processor error adding to the mix, that's why I use them, well that and they are the only walk-in E6 processor for many a mile.
I was there on Wednesday, usually they are really tidy, but that day they were putting up prints, and I've never seen so much 35mm film laid out ready to cut or mount, must have been a couple of hundred rolls, and they say nobody shoots film anymore.
They do a 2 hour turnround on E6, I dropped 3 rolls of 120 off at 3pm on Tuesday, he said they'll be ready by 5pm, I said I might not get back today, he said it doesn't matter they'll still be ready by 5, call back when you want...:shrug:
