dfdann Posted October 23, 2015 Share #1 Posted October 23, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) I am ready to dig out my M7. Who can I send a roll of film to for processing and putting on disc? By way I still love my M8. dfdann Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Henry Posted October 24, 2015 Share #4 Posted October 24, 2015 Hi DD , develop yourself (color or b&w) , it's easy for b&w as color (only temperature constraint)otherwise easy too and work well done no scratch http://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/205842-i-like-filmopen-thread/?p=2911891 http://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/205842-i-like-filmopen-thread/?p=2911906 Good photos and bravo for your "dig out" , you're right , color film and black-grey of film are inimitable Best Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomB_tx Posted October 24, 2015 Share #6 Posted October 24, 2015 In the US both Dwayne's and The Darkroom are handy for mail order processing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sblitz Posted October 26, 2015 Share #10 Posted October 26, 2015 Sounds like you might have to mail which is fine I used to buy Kodak slides with the prepaid mailer. Lots of choices throughout the US. I live in NYC and use Colorhouse and they do mail order. Also the Film Project in NJ and there others in the city. Some members on the forum are in LA and there are a few there as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M9reno Posted October 26, 2015 Share #11 Posted October 26, 2015 My own view is that, for about the same price of a Leica camera (i.e. affordably for most of us here) one can and should buy a home-processing machine and become a self-sufficient developer of colour, b&w, even slides: http://www.jobo-usa.com/jobo-analog-products/jobo-cpp3-processor You thereby put yourself in complete control of your results, from beginning to end. Running costs (i.e. chemicals) are also significantly lower than the costs of lab development. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted October 26, 2015 Share #12 Posted October 26, 2015 This outfit has been my go-to lab for decades. I use C-41 for B&W. You might have to ask for other. Gamma Imaging, Chicago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
smb Posted October 29, 2015 Share #13 Posted October 29, 2015 You might try contacting Ace Photo (Dominion Camera) in Fairfax, Va. They are listed on the net. I have used them for years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAK Posted November 2, 2015 Share #14 Posted November 2, 2015 Has anyone else used the Ilford lab in California for B&W? I've sent them several rolls of film for processing and printing. The development and the scans seem fine, but the prints are not good in my opinion, with disappointing tonal ranges, for examples light grays (and they are grays in the scans) appearing as white in the prints.

sleuthin1 Posted November 6, 2015 Share #15 Posted November 6, 2015 Until recently I've shot digital. Richardsphotolabs in California has printed most of my work and they are quite good. As for film, I've developed my own b&w. Frustrated w my results I recently shipped a roll to Richard's for developing and scanning. They did a great job. Expensive though: $23 for developing, scanning, and shipping. I need get better at developing my own or I'll go broke. Matt from Las Vegas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't used them. For b&w I've used digitalsilver. The prints I get from them are well done w nice tonal ranges. Pricey, though. For a recent 16x24 print on fiber paper the cost was $158.

dfdann Posted November 27, 2015 Author Share #17 Posted November 27, 2015 Just downloaded images from 10 year old Tri X and processed by "The Darkroom " and shot with my M7. Minor work in Lightroom and photos look good. Nothing worth sharing and there is a relearning curve. I definitely am back to film while continuing to use M8 and little Leica C. Thanks for help Dan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for help Dan That's great! Here is a list of other places that do film dev and scanning. http://istillshootfilm.org/post/111177747637/where-to-get-film-developed-online Bonus...Blue Moon Camera does actual enlargements from your negatives at a fairly reasonable price. One of the very few left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
