Question for Lopaka

[nlochner]

Hello, i am in the Troy MI area, and i cant find a good lab to send my film to without getting scratches and fingerprints on my negatives, besides Adray, and Ritz. Ritz takes forever,and is exspensive, and i do like Adray, but i was wondering about what 2 remaining professional labs in troy you were speaking of in a may thread of this year, in the category Product Availability.
Thanks.

P.S. I know that Adray on Big Beaver and John R. Does a quality job on 35 mm c-41 36 exp. film for $3.oo, but i dont know about E-6

Thanks again.

Hi Nick,
Adray does fine with 35mm C-41 and they tell me they can process 120 C-41 but not print it. AFAIK they do not do E-6 on-site. The two remaining pro labs that do E-6, both in Troy are:

and Titan Photo

I have not used either, so I can't give a recommendation one way or the other. I think their pricing will be higher than Adray for C-41 and you will find that E-6 is pricier than C-41. The pro labs will be more expensive - a different level of quality control. If you try either of these places, let us know how it turns out.

I've used Titan (not for film) and they appear to be well run, knowledgeable and friendly.
