Color labs

My daughter who is a chef wants to have some of her dishes photographed. And since Daddy did that way back in the olden days why not have him do it now. Course then I worked in a studio with 4x5 view cameras , hot lights and color transparencies And there were local labs .Times have changed and while I still do my own work it’s all in black and white, I haven’t shot or printed in color in decades. But like riding a bicycle it’s not something you forget . .Biggest problem will be finding a lab in Columbus Ohio to develop the color negatives and make prints. Since I don’t live there I have no idea of who to get to do the processing. The yellow pages are no help, Does anyone have any recommendations pro or con on services in Columbus Ohio., I am talking professional quality proofs and custom enlargements.

IDK about Columbus, OH, but I do know that Samy's in Santa Barbara, CA does a terrific job on e-6, and the pricing is terrific too!

EDIT: you might also want to look into shooting rollfilm(120 or 220) with chromes or negs, since finding a place to scan MF film vs 4x5 will be easier in my experience(even here in LA) for a reasonable price. And with today's emulsions, the quality you can get out of a 6x7 or 6x9 chrome/neg is pretty much good enough for pretty much anything. I do this on my view cameras, its quick, allows easy bracketing on the same roll(generally 1 roll per subject), and its cheaper in the long run than shooting multiple sheets.

Like Dan IDK about Columbus but there's no local lab for me for MF or LF.

http://www.richardphotolab.com/services.html is my go-to lab for anything I don't do myself.
