No More Sheet Film Developing at BWC in Dallas

[jbenedict]

I use Edgar Praus.

In Washington State, nobody commercially develops large format color film. Panda Lab does LF B&W, and has promised color, but it's never actually been done.

I miss Ivey-Seright very, very much...

I suggest you contact Dodge Chrome via their website http://www.dodgechrome.com/

This a major graphics processing business in the Washington DC area.
They do some really large displays, like for conventions and such.

They're also strongly committed to supporting film, both developing and printing.
They do C-41, E-6, and B&W in 4x5, 5x7, and 8x10 sheet film as well as roll film formats.

Excellent work. They do all of my sheet film developing. I do my own printing.

Stop making me cry in my latte!!!

Both BW and C-41 are easy to do at home. Sooner or later you are going to need it if you still shoot film. The commercial labs are going away, one by one....
I can even do E6 if I have enough volume.

Me too. Good dependable timely service at a reasonable price.

Yeah, Panda bought the dip and dunk machines from that lab in Spokane back in 2008, but they never had the space to install the machines. Sad to hear it still hasn't happened.

Developing sheet film is, in my opinion, not too hard to do using the 'taco method'. There is also the Mod54 gizmo but I find the taco method much easier. I can comfortably fit 4 4X5 sheets in a two reel plastic tank using the center column. This flickr page shows pretty well how easy it is: https://www.flickr.com/photos/digi-f...7627864733730/

Give it a try, you might like it.

I looked at his pricing.

Very cheap!

Perhaps I should never have built a darkroom...

Nah, that's where the fun is, for me.

Interesting method. Never heard of it before. Sure would be easy to load. I suppose 5x7 and 8x10 could be done in a similar way in the taller tanks. Do you ever have to soak the negatives in fixer afterward to get the last of the anti halation backing off?

I don't know about the other LF formats; only have 4X5 presently. Have not had to resort to soaking in fixer. Yet. I tend to wash a little longer than required, however. Never say never, though.
