+1 on Dwayne's... although there are some minilabs that will do this, with a bit more convenience. I know that many use Walmart's send-out (to Fuji) service. _________________ -Jussi

Attila I used to have all kinds of stuff for black and white but never developed color. I gave all my stuff away when I went digital. I regret it now. My cousin uses a nice jobo outfit but I hate to bother him although we shoot film together once a week. _________________ Ron |

Sorry I didn't see this until just now.
Thats a real good price. A guy told me that they did a real good job on fuji film but they messed up his kodak. I don't know if its true or he was B.S.ing me. Whats your experience?
Has anyone tried North Coast Photographic Services? $5.50 a roll.
I'm thinking I may send a roll to Dwayne's and a roll by Walmart and see what I get. _________________ Ron

Just got back a test roll of color today, Kodak 120 roll film 160vc C-41
Shot in a 1930's Besa I had purchased from Attila. Still working on getting the hang of this camera. The price for this roll was 88 cents. They did a great job considering I did not have the camera back closed all the way until the 2nd picture. |

So far, I've just used local labs to develop my color 120 and 220. But I too am gonna give WalMart a try, mostly because the price is so much better. And I don't really mind the wait. According to quite a few comments I've read about this, it is Fuji labs who does the actual development of the C-41 and E-6 rolls, and given this I'm not concerned. I've always had very good results when using Fuji film processing.
Geez, if you're going out and shooting with your cousin once a week, if I were you, I'd ask. Tell him you'll buy the next batch of chemicals or something. If you and he are on good terms, I doubt if he'll mind. _________________ Michael

I will give Walmart a try next week. I'll send in a roll of velvia, reala and a roll of ektar and see what I get.

You are right. I will ask my cousin when we shoot next week. On a shoot a few weeks ago he lost a few rolls when his new digital thermometer was off a few degrees. He went back to his old one and got great results. I check out a nice thermometer for him and some chemicals once in a while.
I'll send some out through Walmart and a roll with him. _________________ Ron |

I dunno if I would trust a digital thermometer for developing chemicals. I have three here at home -- not for darkroom, just to measure ambient air temperatures. All three give different readings and about the closest they get to each other is +/- 2 degrees. I have no idea which one is the most accurate.
But a good old glass thermometer, preferably filled with mercury, although they're getting hard to find, is always accurate. I have an old Kodak glass thermometer filled with a blue fluid, and it is spot-on accurate. I wouldn't trade it for a digital in a minute. _________________ Michael

I suggest to verify any thermometer with your body temperature, that is accurate enough for any photography requirement.

Good idea, and a great way to check for accuracy. One of my digitals has an external probe, so I can even check its accuracy. _________________ Michael
