Comments on: Where D’you Get Your Film Developed? http://www.thephotographypages.co.uk/2008/03/where-dyou-get-your-film-developed/ Sun, 25 Jul 2010 13:29:11 +0100 hourly 1 By: TPP http://www.thephotographypages.co.uk/2008/03/where-dyou-get-your-film-developed/comment-page-1/#comment-1706 TPP Sat, 26 Jul 2008 11:58:53 +0000 http://www.thephotohgraphypages.co.uk/2008/03/04/where-dyou-get-your-film-developed/#comment-1706 A brief update here, since someone at RGB in Boro has Googled themselves. RGB refused to process a dozen rolls of 120 and 35mm a couple of weeks ago, saying that there were, and I quote: "a lot". Since it had taken me a 3/4 hour car journey and parking to get there, you can imagine how frustrating this was. I shan't try again. The films went to Digitalab, who seem more than happy with that kind of quantity, and the condition of the negs is immaculate. Needs another write-up really. My 35mm colour neg snapshotty stuff will go to Asda in Hartlepool. A brief update here, since someone at RGB in Boro has Googled themselves.

Not sure whether RGB do a postal service, but will ask them. I forgot to mention 7dayshop.com's dLab7 service, which I use for E6. S2art: yes I process all my own b&w too - there are no labs near me who will do it now. Hard core zone does make sense, yes. But I'm also attempting hard core C41, ha. Auction is looking interesting: will of course keep you all posted. Digitalab are allegedly delivering a better service than their former incarnation, MPS.

Interesting article really, as film for me these days is either hard core zone system style processing by me or "a couple of rolls of colour I've shot". Hope that makes sense? Good luck with the auction and the show btw. fwiw, I process my own b&w all formats to 5×4 [2 home] and generally use a lab called Vanbars in Carlton, Melbourne Australia, for C41, 6×6 usually.

They're excellent but obviously you risk trusting you valuable images to the Royal Mail. Might give RGB a try, though they're not too convenient for me to drop off in person. I've only ever used MPS/DigitalLab for digital prints but was very happy with their service. I use Peak Imaging by post having had several bad experiences with the now defunct Ward Phillipson.
