cfimages Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 Bob, I'm from Australia and as far as I can remember (I haven't been in Australia for over a year), developing of prints at a Fuji Frontier lab costs about AUD$15-16...which I think is about US$10. For b&w (non C-41), expect to pay AUD$30-45 for good quality prints ($US20-30). As to slide film...I've no idea. Enjoy your trip. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon whitear Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 What sort of film, and to what standard? Process and mount 35mm E6 at Bond's in Melbourne (Pro and recommended) is about Au$12 a roll, as I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quentin_smith Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 no problems getting quality processing. pretty comparable rates to US and UK i think. Film carried in carry on bags in not a problem in terms of xrays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenny_hulley Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 Bob It depends on where you take your film. Prints can range from AUD$11.95 to 12.99 for a roll of 24 exp. (single prints) and AUD $13.95 to 15.95 for a roll of 36 exp. (single prints). Some places charge $AUD 2.00 extra for matt / and or borders. As the Australia dollar has become stronger against the US dollar I'm not sure if the cost of developing is the same. (It's about 70 US cent to the dollar - it's been a while since I've lived in the states and I have forgotten how much it costs to process film in America.

mkphoto Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 Could you reccommend any good labs with similar pricings in Melbourne? Where I go they charge AUD0.89 per 6X4 digital! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anth Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 4x6" digital prints at Teds Camera Stores are 99c for 1-9 prints, but if you get 10 or more they are 69c ea. and for 100+ its 49c ea. Quality seems fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
