Where do you get your film developed?

[mehguy]

Where do you develop your film? Most stores around my area either dont offer film developing anymore or the places that still do it, costs an arm and a leg. But Ive one place that sends it out but only charges 10 bux.

 

[OptiKen]

Home.
Only $1 or $2 per roll

B&W, E-6, C-41 all done at home in a Jobo CPP-2.

 

[Trail Images]

I only shoot transparencies......so, E-6 at DataChrome in Santa Ana, CA.......always done right !!

 

[removedacct1]

My favorite lab is Paul's Kitchen. Superb service, fast turnaround and flawless, careful handling of my negatives, always.

 

[Chrismat]

Black and white I do myself. I've started to do some C41 processing on my own this summer, but usually I send C41 to either Blue Moon in Oregon or McGreevy Pro Lab in Albany, New York. E-6 goes to McGreevy.

I do it all myself now. I used to send out C-41 to the local Calumet branch before they closed. The remaining major lab in the area was charging $8/roll to process 120, dev only, and it was taking a week to get it turned around. So I said to heck with that and bought some C-41 chemistry and ran it through my Jobo. Life is now very good, at all of $3/roll NOT re-using my chemistry. If I re-use, it drops to more like $1.50/$1.75 a roll. I've always done black-and-white at home because even in the heyday of commercial labs I was never happy with the results they delivered.

I process my own B&W, for color in the Phoenix area either Tempe Camera or Wilson's camera. Wilson's has 2 locations one in Phoenix, another in Scottsdale location which has the mini lab. Both process B&W as well.

 

[Ko.Fe.]

B/w, c-41, ecn-2 - home. Where else.

 

[480sparky]

B&W is souped at home. Color is done at the local brick-n-mortar store (develop only, do not cut, no prints or scans).

 

[Sirius Glass]

Black & white film I process and print myself. Color film [C41], if a small number of rolls, I have processed and printed at Costco for 35mm and at Samys for 120. When I have twelve to sixteen rolls of film [or equivalent 4"x5" sheets] I process the film myself. I am prepared to print the color film myself, but I have not done that at home.

 

[bdial]

B&W at home, C-41 at the local camera shop. Usually they have it ready in an hour and charge 5 or 6 $'s

 

[Nodda Duma]

B&W at home and color film gets nailed off and processed at Dwayne's Photo since I like getting the prints too and they are the most economical.

Currently? TheDarkroom.com

I'd like to eventually set up to do at least B&W here at home, but it's going to take some major work to get a corner of the basement set up for it.

You don't need any special, dedicated space to develop film.

 

[Kyle M.]

I do B&W, C41, and E6 myself, though 99% of what I do is B&W. I'm not a big fan of C41, if I want color I shoot E6.

 

[Too old to care]

My laundry/dark room. Been doing it since the 60's, with the exception of a few years that I shot mostly digital.

 

[jacaquarie]

My kitchen.
My B&W film is processed in the kitchen. Formats from 35mm to 4X5.
I send down to the basement / laundry area to make prints.
On a serious note, for Tamara and others, Black and White home processing is easy. If you can cook you can process your own film. A changing bag, daylite tanks, a way to track time, I use the clock on my oven as the developing timer. Anywhere close for time and temp and you will have the negative you can work from. If you choose medium or even large format then the enlarger is optional, make contact prints.
This is not hard just practice.

 

[Terry Christian]

I don't shoot E-6, and I develop B&W and C-41 at home. I even develop other photographers' film for $10/roll develop and scan.

 

[film_man]

Everything goes for dev/scan to UK Film Lab.
