hey all,
I'm running a thread just like this one over at APUG, but since many of you aren't over there, and might have an answer to my nagging question, it'd be much appreciated!
so, here it is:
After looking at a NY pro-labs website, and pricelist http://ltiny.com/lti_pricelist.pdf ,
I noticed that they have a "proprietary process" (pg. 2 under "cp- c-41" in the .pdf), that is for c-41. My main reason for asking is because I really can't afford their prices :o, and I'd really like to do it myself for the cost-savings and the pure process, I enjoy processing my film :rolleyes:.
I've tried calling them, and after speaking to one of their techs over the phone(who was strangely nice compared to other NY pro-labs I've talked too), but since the process was proprietary, he couldn't tell me.... damn....
I'm planning on shooting around 30-50 sheets of 8x10 portra this summer in Iceland while assisting, but since I might never have the chance to go there again, I don't want to screw this up.
any ideas? I'll most likely be using a 2551 drum one sheet at a time, time isn't the problem, I just want the best results possible.
thanks
