    Good Lab for color film developing

    I am using a Canham wood field 5x7 with the 617 roll film back. A lab in NYC ruined about 25 rolls of Portra 120 that I shot in the spring. So I am looking for recommendations for a professional lab where I can send my film for developing. I would also like to get some low res proof quality scans along with developing. Input is appreciated

    I haven't used them but have heard good things. http://www.4photolab.com/
    All labs (including a&i) make mistakes from time to time. Ask your lab to process your large quantities of film in batches throughout the day/week to decrease the chance of a total loss.

    Praus is excellent IME.
