Help with Processing Lab in Melbourne Australia

[ArnaldoIlagan]

Hi all,

I am very new to MF photography and I need some help with processing films. I know of only 2 labs that do processing - Lab X and Image Science. Are there more in Melbourne and which one do you recommend?

Can anyone also point me where I can research about processing. I just need some knowledge about the different types.

Thanks all.

Regards,
Arnaldo

Vanbar in Carlton process c41, B&W & E6 medium and large format films... I use them all the time because they are only 300m from my work, and they are fine, but I do wish they wouldn't wrap up the rolls of film so tightly after processing - makes them hard to flatten to scan or anything... The lab I used in Zurich last year kept my E6 (6x9) MF slides nice and flat in individual sleeves...

Also Bonds in Richmond. I've been going there since 1983 and had great service all the time.

I've also heard a lot of good things about Bonds.

Thumbs up from me for Prism Colour North Melbourne (they do not sell large format paper but process the film.
Also CPL St. Kilda: Asko there (a Finn, formerly from LaTrobe Colour Lab in South Melbourne years ago) does B&W printing and has a breathtakingly fine eye for the craft.
