Good E-6 Lab in the Mid-Atlantic?

[brian steinberger]

I'm looking for an E-6 lab to do mail order processing somewhere in the mid-atlantic. I have found a lab in Allentown, PA but $12 a roll for 120 E-6 is just too much. Something around $6-9 would be great.

Thanks!

I checked Dodgechrome out. $8 a roll, not bad. I will give them a try. Thanks!

There's also Colourworks, in Wilmington DE at $6.25/roll. I haven't used them yet, so I can't say anything about quality.

I have a friend that's developing E-6 with them and recommends them as well. I haven't quite gotten up to sending them anything since I stopped doing my own E-6, but they'll be my first choice when I start E-6 again...

I have used Colourworks for 70mm C-41 developing, and they were excellent. I have had E-6 done at Philadelphia Photographics, and they have top-quality processing as well. $7.00 a roll is not bad either.

Thanks guys, these are some great options! I've gotten in touch with Colourworks as well. I'm looking for things like prepaid mailers or free return shipping as well.

I once applied for a job at L'Imagerie when they were still out in Beltsville. It is run by a rather odd Frenchman with a really heavy Inspector Clousseau accent and a waxed handlebar mustache. I don't know about their quality control - it's been 17 years since I was in there. I just remember the Frenchman.

Philadelphia Photographics used to be fantastic for 120. Around mid-2010, their handling of the film became somewhat haphazard; I lost a couple half-frames at the front of rolls (obviously exposed to light during their development process). I stopped using and recommending them.

Hopefully that was a temporary problem and it's been fixed; I'm just about to give them another try. They're damned conveniently located for me.
