Hey everyone,

 

I realize this might be a localized question but I recall a few members in the forum are from Toronto. I was just wondering where you all get your film developed, colour at least, and which would be best. I am currently going to blacks but I fear I am being overcharged and not receiving quality scans...at least not the best. Any input would help, Thanks!

No affiliation, but I warmly suggest Downtown Camera on Queen St.

As for quality, they'll pretty much meet any expectation... I don't know about their processing prices, though... I deal with B/W only and I do it myself; but they are serious professionals, well equipped and stocked.

Probably the best is Toronto Imaging Works, owned by Edward Burtynsky at 80 Spadina.

 

As Mauro stated, Downtown Camera develops. See George.

 

I also like Ruby at Elpro, 3 Elm St.

 

I live in Caledon, and get colour negatives developed at my local Walmart. I scan at home; I always thought the better quality scans were outrageously priced.

 

Good luck!

Interesting, I was unaware that Downtown Camera developed, I have bought film from there before for decent prices. Does anyone have any experiences there? Also, any other suggestions or labs that people prefer? Thanks!

Another vote for Toronto Image Works, 80 Spadina Ave (TIW : Toronto Image Works : Home). I'm back from a sabbatical at U of T; enjoyed the quality of their work (in 4x5, that is). I did my own scanning at Gallery 44, 401 Richmond Street (Gallery 44). Being a member of that place you can use the Gallery's Imacon 949 for a very reasonable fee - a machine that put a continuous broad smile on my analogous face :)
