I don't shoot much E6, but took two rolls to Prism today, only to find that they are no longer processing E6. They finished E6 just last week. So I took them off to Vanbar. I just thought I would post this as I know that several here use Prism for E6.

And if Vanbar stop, you can always post to Atkins here in Adelaide (wouldn't that be something, adelaide having something Melbourne doesn't, even if it is 'old technology'?). Atkins have just cut back from daily to 3 runs a week to save on heating up the machine, they're obviously not getting the business that they used to either...

Yes, PRISM advised their client list more than a month ago, but with only 3-4 people using E6 facility and jobbing so staggered as to be doing it just once a week, well, the writing was on the wall, at least until Ye Old Processor decided to cark it..., so Gary pulled the plug. Meanwhile, a list of labs providing E6 processing in Melbourne is being cobbled on Facebook through Australian Film Photographers page.

Vanbar process a fair bit of E-6 atm, including for a univeristy. The machine has undergone multiple repairs when things break, it isn't near the stage of Prism.

If they stop, I'll fix up the Jobo processors I got at home.
