Did you consider Gamma on Superior? The way they have been down sizing lately I hope they are still there.
When I was assisting there a few years ago, a lot of the photographers I worked with used Gamma. A few more used Lab One, and one firm used yet another lab the name of which I cannot for the life of me, but which was adjacent to the old meatpacking district.
Gamma (the old Astra Photo Service) was always excellent when I needed them over the years. Their website looks "busy" but as to their film work still at a high standard - not sure. Worth a try.
Gamma has always done good C-41 processing for me when I am in Chicago during the summers. Lab One has closed. I am not sure who else does it.
Thanks,

Dear Ron,
I have used Perfect Image in the northwest suburbs in the past on the recommendation of a friend. I have only had film processed there but that has been done properly. I know they process 4x5, but I do not know if they process larger sizes.

Thanks for all of the responses.
Another vote of confidence for Gamma and for Perfect Image -Bill
I asked a friend/former client client of mine in Chicago, and he recommends CSW and Precision in addition to Gamma. As he puts it, slim pickings after that.
I use Gamma fairly regularly. They do a pretty good job.
