Adrian Lord Posted November 14, 2008 Share #1 Posted November 14, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) I ve been using this lately due to no dark room and the collapse of high street B&W processing. Found it to be good quality if a little slow in turn around. No lost films so far either! Do others rate it and is there any viable competition out there? I am toying with starting a darkroom again after many years but not sure I 'll use it enought to justify the hassle and chemicals... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

earleygallery Posted November 14, 2008 Share #2 Posted November 14, 2008 Snappy Snaps offer traditional B&W processing. Not the same day service but pretty sure its 1 or 2 days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted November 14, 2008 Share #3 Posted November 14, 2008 The competition is to spend fifty quid and do it yourself in your kitchen (at least with the negatives) Do you have a scanner? I think that SnappySnaps do B&W, and if you can still find a pro processor in your city, they will do it for you too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Lord Posted November 14, 2008 Author Share #4 Posted November 14, 2008 Yes - I have a coolscan V which is great but I also like to have proper hard prints too. Thanks for the tip about Happy Snaps - didn't realise they still did it. It just means carting 20 miles into Norwich! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

earleygallery Posted November 14, 2008 Share #6 Posted November 14, 2008 As Andy says, DIY is the other option, probably better/easier. I started again and wonder why I stopped. Scanning isn't the most exciting thing to do with your time but probably quicker than the journey to the shop/post office! Any basic photo printer will produce acceptable results and for the those images you wish to display, you can have traditional prints made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
