8mm film processing

[removed account4]

hi ...

a few months ago i posted some images in the gallery of "prints" or "stills" of
some 8mm movie footage i shot about 10years ago ... a few years later i sold off
all my equipment
i miss it ...

now ... i have come full circle and might be buying another
8mm set-up ... i have a guy down the street who buys/sells/fixes all things 8mm so
i am in good hands

i do have a question though ... i used to buy film and have it processed through
2 sources ... prepfilm ... sometimes i had it processed through fuji ...
they are about the same price ... and both do good work...

are there many other places to have film processed these days ?
i know dwaynes in kansas still processes ektachrome,
and cinelab in fall river / new bedford still processes film but they have a minimum
footage ...

any other places i should know about ?

thanks !
john

I am a Super 8 shooter, and I use the same two places you mentioned.

Cinelab does not have a minimum, but you really want to send them at least 2 rolls at a time or it it is just too expensive. I really like that with Cinelab I can shoot on the weekend and by Friday I am ready for home movie night. Maybe it is different for 8mm, but I don't see a reason why it should be, 8mm is easier to un-spool.
