Subject: E6 and B&W negative processing suggestions
Date: 2010-09-07 17:49:52

Who would everyone recommend for 120 format E6 and B&W negative processing (not B&W reversal)? I'm using dr5 for B&W reversal processing, but would like some suggestions on a lab that might have lower prices for E6 and B&W negatives. I called Main Photo in California today and the girl on the phone said they no longer do E6 or B&W negative processing. There is no one local that does this either, so I'm looking for other options. TIA.

I use Manhattan Color Labs:

Manhattan Color Lab
4 West 20th Street
New York, NY 10011
212-807-7373

They do color (E-6 slides and C-41 negative) and B&W in all formats.
They do not charge for push or pull processing for E-6. For the
smaller formats (35mm and roll film up to 6x7) they can do machine
prints, and low resolution JPEG scans to CD-ROM. They can also do
much more expensive high resolution scanning of individual frames.
There is also custom printing available.

E-6 processing is usually same day if you get it in early. They also
do mail order, but since I'm local I don't know the details.

I don't have a price sheet handy, but for my most recent batch of 9
rolls of Kodak E100G 120 they charged $5/roll plus taxes. The film
was sleeved (uncut), rolled, and boxed.

There's a few labs in the Los Angeles area that still do E6 and B&W - the one I use often is called the Darkroom (http://www.darkroomlab.com/) they are reasonably priced and do good work. Like everywhere else the charge for push/pull etc. Info and price sheet on the site ....

good luck

Hello John,

> Who would everyone recommend for 120 format E6 and B&W negative processing

Can't really recommend anyone as I still have an E6 lab here in Boise,
Idaho, USA that does same day processing three times a week for about
$9.00 a roll.

Thanks,

David W. Kesner

I use

Http://northcoastphoto.com

they do excellent work and i also have the option of getting a high res scan done at the time for 11 dollars a roll. I get my slides and black and white back in less than a week usually. I send it out priority mail and get it back by friday. They do a fine job with my rolls of stereo and have never sent back an accidentally cut roll.

Great lab.

Nik
