Ilford Lab Direct branching out to USA/Canada

That page has now been updated as predicted.

It says the lab can process any make of B&W film? Does this include C41 Chromogenic film such as Ilford's own XP2+ or does a chromogenic film not qualify under the definition of B&W film? A pity in many ways if chromogenic stuff cannot be processed as XP2+ is said to be ideal for printing on silver gelatin paper

For what it is worth I didn't think that the machine at Mobberley that I saw on the 2008 could process C41 B&W film but I may be wrong and/or it may now be set up for C41 as well

All of Canada is "Not in the US".

The registration form also has a drop down for US and Canada, But even with "Canada" selected, Ontario is not in the drop-down (Mind you I did not start to fill in the form, it may want information filled in above before it checks there.)

I did download the "off-line" form and they provide a printable Mailing label with per-paid postage, but only if mailed in the USA. the form seems to list one flat price per roll of film, with various extras like Prints added on.

ILFORD PROCESSING & PRINTING IN THE US STARTS NOW !

I felt a shift in the industry forces when I read this. Ilford starts processing all types of b&w and color c-41 in the U.S. by mail at REASONBLE prices no less. Check it out !!! (And support this). Who knows, if this keeps up, could Kodachrome and K-14 processing be coming back too?

I guess instead of starting this thread twice at Format Forums it would better be placed at the Industry News or Product Availability Forum.

I see we now have four different threads on this subject in four different subforums.

would it be a good idea to merge them?

The UK Ilford service was definitely contracted out in the early days (I phoned once about an order that was slower than usual and it was explained that they were in the process of moving the work to an in-house lab at Mobberley factory, where I later saw the set-up on the 2008 visit).

However, the packing and branding and the high quality work were exactly the same before and after the move, so our friends in the US should have no worries if the same controls are applied.

Looked all over the site but didn't see a price list. Do you have to register before you can see the prices?

 

[Mark Feldstein]

Here you go: No registration necessary. But if you register, all they ask for is a name, address and e-mail with an opt in or out for newsletters.

Here's the price list, mailing label and order form.

I've looked at their web site, looks promising.

Does anyone know if they process/print panoramic films (from a 135 or 120 Holga)? Some months back, I inquired at a (somewhat) local photo lab, although they could process it, they could not print it as they did not have the equipment. I did not see any reference to panoramic film on this web site though.

Guess Ilfords policy of not supporting/recommending labs or a specified service has ended
