susan_diamond Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 We will be in Riga next week for 10 days and we will be coming from the UK ! Can we buy Kodak E100GX in Riga and can we get it processed professionally. Thanks from Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrejs_ilicuks Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Susan, I'll check about availability tomorrow. You can develop slides at least in two places in Riga, not sure if they use dip and dunk (or what are you calling professional processing ?), though never had problems , although I can not guarantee 100%, naturally. For price 2-3Ls (read-pounds) per roll you will be just fine, except you will have to wait, to say, 3-4-5 days, as volume is low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrejs_ilicuks Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Susan, film choice has been hugely reduced in last year, I clearly recall kodak slides beeing in shop round the corner, but not this days. Only place I found E100GX is wholesaler, they are selling to firms, plcs etc. only, not individual from the street. Package of 20 rolls 35mm E100GX is available for Ls97 at Polap/KODAK division and you need to arrange deal thru some firm, which shouldn't be hard, if you really need this film. Isn't price nearly same as in UK ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susan_diamond Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 Dear Andrejs, Thank you so much for your help! Exchange rate does not sound too bad. Can you give us a telelphone number for Polap/Kodak, or some kind of contact info so we can make some arrangements before we arrive? Also, the film processor? Thanks again. We can probably get a friend to translate if we have to. With very best wishes, Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrejs_ilicuks Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Hello Susan, Polap/Kodak phone# is +3717551831You can check address and see on map where they are located following the link (click on name to see map opening) http://www.1188.lv/az?isearch=polap+kodak&search_type=normal&x=0&y=0 E-6 films can get processed processed taking them to either lab in Elizabetes Str. 69, in very center of city http://www.1188.lv/az?isearch=R%C4%ABgas+foto+repro+baltic+elizabetes&search_type=normal&x=0&y=0 or to Baltijas Foto Serviss on Pulkveza Brieza str. 3 http://www.1188.lv/az?isearch=baltijas+foto+serv&search_type=normal&x=33&y=7 Never have used second one (BFS) just because they are off my daily route and with my small volume I've been happy in first place. But this doesn't mean that you can not use BFS. Enjoy shooting in Riga ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
