It's official. No more film processing in Nashville, TN.

Pro Photo was the last place in town that did commercial film processing on site. I tried to drop off a couple of rolls for processing this morning and was turned down. Apparently they stopped even their C-41 and b&w about a month ago.
Bummer.

Sad. Here (Toronto) it now costs $9 or so for a roll of 120 and there's just a few places that will do LF C-41 sheet film.

I can do my own black and white, but due to the significance of the event I photographed, I would much rather pass on the liability to someone else if there any problems with the results.
It's not often a friend of the family has a daughter with a first birthday. The best part was that while I did it as a favor, I caught shots that the PAID photographer missed.

Your lucky (not really) we lost our last lab like 5 years ago!

Yet another plug for Edgar at http://www.4photolab.com/ lol.

You want to work with a busy lab that has enough volume to be able to afford to maintain good chemistry and processing practices. Places that are slow are not the best quality.

I was thinking of shooting some color print and slide 120 and wondering where to send it. I see Dwayne's is still going in Kansas.

E-6 in Atlanta (http://www.e-sixlab.com/film.htm) gets plenty of praise and I know they do a lot of volume. Frank's plug for Edgar Praus at every closing announcement used to be amusing. I never liked the idea of shipping my film elsewhere when I had a local lab that could handle it. I'm considering it now.

I am in Atlanta and I used to use E6 a lot. I found them to be a bit expensive and the quality was not always there for me.

My experiences with them led me to doing al of my own c41 and e6 at home.

[lenser]

Was always extremely happy with the quality from Aliied photocolor in St. Louis, but now their E-6 rices are way high and the service is "only when we have enough rolls to run a batch" which could day days or longer. But they also do C-41 and B&W to perfection.

I'm now using Denver Digital Imaging who run E-6 twice daily at $2.00 per 4x5 and $5.95 for 120. Great results thus far.

LTI and L&I in New York (these are two different labs) both do 8x10 E6 beautifully. I would guess they do mail in, but you would have to call.

The folks in both labs are very friendly and helpful.
