Best Place to get film developed in Vancouver

Shelley-Ann · Oct 27, 2008

Hey

I'm in Vancouver on business this week, and I'm wondering if anyone here can suggest a store where I can get my negatives developed at a reasonable price. I'm looking for C-41, E6, and cross processing services. I'm located downtown, and don't really have the time to trek out to the suburbs.

Thanks!
Shelley-Ann

London Drugs? That's right downtown.

I haven't used them in a long while, but if I was looking right downtown I'd talk to CustomColor to see if they will meet your needs:

Otherwise, I'd suggest either ABC Photocolour:

or G King Photo:

both of whom are just slightly outside of the downtown area.

Hope you enjoy your visit.

Hello Shelley-Ann,

I am rarely in Vancouver, but always use G King Photo when there (see Matt's link). A few years back they did some E-6 127 for me. They had to find their 127 hanger (they are dip and dunk) but still had it ready before closing time. Their service was top notch.

Cheers,
Clarence

Thanks, guys.
I'm going to try custom colour.

I can't believe no one mentioned The Lab! Faster turn around time than any of the above mentioned labs due to multiple runs during the day.

The Lab Rules!

I second that - the Lab is close to downtown and does excellent work. G.King and CustomColour are okay in a pinch but check out the Lab...

My favorite lab (Island Pro Lab) closed a while ago in Victoria. Since then I have tried others in Victoria and some in Vancouver. I am not familiar with "The Lab" but I am looking to find a high quality professional lab that I can rely on.
My experience with most of the labs that I have tried in the last couple of years was a hit and miss situation.
Any advice would be appreciated.

I have tried Custom Colour several times in the last few months and so far I am very pleased with their work.

High quality prints and scans, from 135 and 120.

Just used them for the first today and I must say I am very impressed with the quality and the prices.
