Film Processing Lab

[jimrob]

This looks like the best place for this post.

I am not a professional and do not have my own processing setup. So, what is the BEST film processing lab to use for developing 35mm color print and/or 35mm slide film?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Still alot of places that develop film. Are you in a big or medium size city? If so, there are probably one or two local places that would do it. If you want to send them out, you could try all the bigger digital image printers, as they probably all still do film. It isn't dead, and we have a forum just for film folks, one for Medium & large format film users, and another for B&W that contains some film images.

Might try these to get you going:

MPix does it and prints it well:

Kodak Gallery still does film too:

One of the best for film developing is A&I labs in Los Angeles. www.AandI.com
Their prices for printing are a bit high. For printing I use Whitehouse www.whcc.com
I don't believe Kodak Gallery processes color reversal fillm.

I use MPIX at www.mpix.com exclusively for printing digital files, so I haven't used them for film developing, but they do offer it. Their prints are excellent quality and they have a very fast turn around time. They are usually printed and shipped out the day after the order has been submitted and I get them 2 days later in the mail. I'm in Oklahoma and they are in Kansas, so that is an advantage for me!

Kodak Gallery will do this:

Film types accepted by the Gallery:

The Gallery processes a wide variety of C-41-compliant film: color 35 mm, color Advantix (APS), single-use cameras, and black-and-white film labeled "process C-41."

C-41 - the most common reference for Kodak's developing process for color negative film - is synonymous with CN-16 (Fuji) and AP70 (Agfa). Each canister of compatible film states somewhere on it "process C-41."

I did not think that WHCC actually did any film developing. They are good for printing though (you'll need to develop elsewhere if this is the case), as several have used them.
