steve_chriss1 Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 I've just moved from Houston to Salem, OR, and am looking for the best film development shop in town. I've got both print and slide film, 35mm and medium format. Many thanks to those who respond! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill_drummond1 Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 Pro Digital Shoooter PDS goes to COSCO. I've used Winco, good stuff but COSCO does bigger prints - talked with Shoooter yesterday. Photos are satin finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_moon4 Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 I've found that 2 of the Costco do a very good job on 35mm in the Portland area. Although I haven't tried them all. However you have a problem with them MF stuff, the just don't do it. If you can get to Portland the best I've found for MF is Citizen's Photo on SE 7th Av. just North of Belmont. They have one day service on both C-41 and E-6 and I believe their prices are very reasonable. They are a full service Pro Lab that will do push or pull processing if needed for a modest $3.00 over the regular price of $3.80 for process only E-6 that is returned uncut and sleeved. Check them out on the net at <www.citizensphoto.com> and I believe they will do mail order. By the way I don't work for them but have been a customer of theirs for years. I hope this helps.

paul_vincent1 Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 The Walmart in Woodburn has a brand-new Fuji Frontier processor that simply cant be beat for 35mm processing. They will process only for @ $2/roll at the 1-hour photo. I then scan and prepare for printing using Photoshop. The Frontier digital prints are also dirt cheap and unbelievable. $2.80 for an 8x10. Use a Frontier ICC profile on your file and tell them to send it straight to the printer with no adjustments. For medium format I take non-critical stuff to Modine's in Keizer (just off the Salem Parkway on Cherry Street). They charge $3.50/roll for processing only. They also have rental darkrooms where you can do your own work. Again, I scan and print at Walmart. For more critical work, I take it to either Camera World in Portland or Suburban Photo in Beaverton. Surburban charges $5/roll to develop 120mm film, Camera World is @ $4.50/roll.
