Advertisement Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 Hi johnastovall, Take a look here I need to find a high quality Lab that can..... I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Angora Posted January 8, 2008 Share #2 Posted January 8, 2008 Which country? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnastovall Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share #3 Posted January 8, 2008 Which country? U.S.A. or the Republic of Texas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom.leininger Posted January 9, 2008 Share #4 Posted January 9, 2008 BWC in Dallas might fit the bill for what you want. If you want out of the Republic, then I might go with MV Labs in NYC. Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riccis Posted January 9, 2008 Share #5 Posted January 9, 2008 John: I send my film work to Richard Photo Lab in L.A. (Richard Photo Lab) and I highly recommend them. Give them a call and ask to speak with Brian Greenberg (he is the owner) and tell them that I sent you. The Icon (the icon) is another great lab used by another friend of mine in L.A. Hope this helps. Riccis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photoskeptic Posted January 9, 2008 Share #6 Posted January 9, 2008 John, Dwayne's in Kansas does a good job. You might give dr5 in Colorado a shot. My last roll to them took 3 weeks to return but you might be interested in reading about their special process. I still have a pro lab here in Charleston to do my Delta 100 and I hope they continue but in the event they fold, I'm making a list (and checking it twice ) for alternative choices.

Photoskeptic Posted January 9, 2008 Share #7 Posted January 9, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Oops! Sorry John, I missed that part about the tif scans. Since I do my own scanning I'm simply not aware of who performs that service. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

harmsr Posted January 9, 2008 Share #9 Posted January 9, 2008 John, If you are going to do your own scanning (also recommended) you should really consider doing your own developing. The total cost is under $200 initial investment. What you get out of it is the ability to fine tune so that you get what you want. You can develop consistently with better results than any lab who does not know or care what you want from that roll. We only have 2 "Pro-Labs" left here in Phoenix. They drove me to giving up on color film and developing my own B&W. Color is now all digital. The inconsistent developing, scratches, finger prints, etc... were driving me nuts. I now develop very easily with great results 4 rolls at a time in a single tank and not only enjoy the process, but the results are so much better. I do no wet printing. I scan on a Nikon Super Coolscan 5000 ED using VueScan and print on an Epson 3800. Just something to think about. Best, Ray Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted January 9, 2008 Share #10 Posted January 9, 2008 Process Ilford Delta 100 and 3200 and Tri-X, produce not prints but a contact sheet and provide high quality tiff scans of the negatives. Is there such a place? Do it yourself. It's easy. And cheap. And controllable. And you can choose how to process the film. And with which developer. And for how long. There really is no excuse for anyone who shoots b&w film, not to develop it themselves, especially if they are going to scan and then print. After all, you can then process the film especially to suit your scanning technique. $100 will easily get you everything you need, I am sure (apart from the 30 minutes...)

harmsr Posted January 10, 2008 Share #13 Posted January 10, 2008 Rob, Do you actually have a method which works to get the missus doing the development? I would so dearly love to know how that works. Ray Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PATB Posted January 11, 2008 Share #14 Posted January 11, 2008 One problem I have with developing and scanning at home is that I find scanning an entire roll very tedious. So I end up driving to the local college darkroom to make a contact sheet. While there, I end up not bothering with scanning and just making wet prints So, is there a quick and dirty way to pick the good shots without having to scan the entire roll? In other words, is there a quick way of creating a "digital contact sheet"? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted January 11, 2008 Share #15 Posted January 11, 2008 I place my negatives in their clear storage sheet onto my flatbed scanner. I then place my slides lightbox face down on top of the negatives and scan. I then print the resultant scan and file adjacent to the negatives It's definitely quick and dirty, but it's fine for what I need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only have a film scanner right now (Nikon Coolscan V ED). I will borrow a flatbed scanner to try that lightbox trick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
