jun Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Hi. I am looking for pro-lab in Philadelphia area. Actually I found one in lancaster ave. which name is "the camera shop". Their quality of work seems just fine but too expensive and slow. C-41 120 (16exp) for $25 with 4*5 prints. I can't take this price for my work. Pro Lab quality with resonable price... this is where i have to find quickly. I think there are lots of photographers in philly. Please tell me recommended pro labs in philly... (location, name, phone number...plz) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_difran2 Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 I live outside of Philadelphia, and I have given up on labs around here in the suburbs. They are ridiculously priced, with ill-informed associates behind the counter. The only pro lab that I know of around here is in Media, PA, maybe only 15 minutes from center city. Its called Mecca Imaging. http://www.meccaimaging.com/ Good luck. I am sure that there are a few downtown, but I am unaware of them. "The Camera Shop", where on Lancaster Ave. is that located?

discpad Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 JUN, <br><br> If you don't mind the trip to Cherry Hill, check out <a href = "http://www.FocusPhotoLabs.com" target = "_blank"><u>Focus Photo Labs.</u></a> They have a 30 inch Durst Epsilon printer as well as a complete C41 line. They are located in the <a href = "http://www.focusphotolabs.com/map.htm" target = "_blank">Springdale Shopping Center <u>(click for map & directions);</u></a> and their number is 856-751-9088.<br><br> I work there part time doing image editing as well as maintaining the servers. I also process their B&W and E6 roll and sheet film in my own lab. <br><br> Cheers! <br> <a href = "http://users.snip.net/~joe" target = "_blank"><u>Dan Schwartz</u></a><br><br> <i>Note: All links open in new windows</i><br> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerry297 Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 Hi Jun, This is a question that took an incredible journey to answer. Give "Color Reflections" at 400 Green Street a try. They have been doing consistant work for me for a couple of years, plus you won't have to mortgage the farm to cover your bills. They are slightly higher than the 1 hour houses, but I believe that the old adage is true..."you do get what you pay for". Good luck and let us all know how you make out.

jun Posted April 11, 2004 Author Share Posted April 11, 2004 Thank you again :) I really appreciate your help... Matt, I went there today but they closed... it's not far from my house, I will revisit in next week. Dan, I would be glad to go cherry hill... I will knock that place soon. Gerry, "you do get what you pay for" - that's what I belive too. 400 green st. As soon as I got the location on the map I am going to check that place out. Have a nice week !

belina_manalang Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Not sure if it still exists but as an art student in the 90's there was a lab we all used near 13th St. and Market. I think it was called Quaker Photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelnj Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 I use Quaker photo on a regular basis. They have a three hour turn-around on E-6 Processing. They are located on Vine Street just east of the convention center. I wish I could find a pro lab closer to my home in Atlantic County, NJ.

brandy_auld Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 There is a good lab called ProColor on Ranstead and 7th street in center city. They aren't cheap, but they do a great job, always have for me anyway. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhrubo_gupta Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Based on the postings here I used Quaker on Arch and 11th. Turn around was 4 hours - the slides were perfectly mounted and processed without any scratches. BUT the cost was $13 plus per roll - time did not permit or else I would have had them done at National Geographic for half the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
