billballardphotography Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Hi folks - The last dip & dunk E6 processor within 150 miles of me (Savannah, GA) was ripped out of the lab this past week. My options in ATL are gone: ColorChrome, Moakler, E6 Labs, all done. I'm hoping that someone can recommend, from personal experience, a dip & dunk mail-order lab for 35 and 120 E6 processing - one that uses Fuji chemistry? Many thanks in advance - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdunker Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Bill, was that Bay Camera or some other vendor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User_502260 Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 A&I in Los Angeles does excellent work. Fuji mailers were about $5 the last time I looked. These go to Dwayne's in Parsons, Kansas. You can go to the Dwayne's website directly and get information on sending them E-6 slide film (or Kodachrome) for developing. The number of labs developing slide film is decreasing all the time but A&I and Dwayne's should be the last two standing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_schoof1 Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 The Slideprinter in Denver, CO - don't know about the chemistry but have had good results for almost 15 years. www.theslideprinter.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billballardphotography Posted January 1, 2008 Author Share Posted January 1, 2008 Mark - It was photoSCAD. They were the only dip & dunk processor in Savannah. Photomaster and Bay are roller processors. They would work fine, I'm sure. I've always dealt with dip & dunk labs (photoSCAD here, and Moakler & ColorChrome in ATL) and feel more secure with the process. I don't do that much E6 (or other film work) anymore. I've got a freezer full of Velvia, Provia, Astia, etc., that I'd like to shoot through and scan. Thanks too, Jeff and Stephen for your recommendations - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randall_pukalo Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 sliderprinter.com, as recommended above. They use Dip and dunk, Dwaynes is a roller machine I believe. Anyways, I too have had great results from Slideprinter, and they are reasonably priced ($7/roll with free shipping), and they can push process also, for an extra 2 bucks. Better deal than A and I, and same or better quality. Note that if you do use the Fuji mailers (Dwaynes), send 2 or more rolls at a time in a large envelope. 3 rolls is about 1.50 with the new postal rates vs about 1.20 for only 1 roll. With slideprinter, dont worry ab out it, they send you prepaid envelopes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mervyn_yan Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Slideprinter is the one I use for 120/220. Fuji mailers for 35mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim_huggins Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 BWC Labs in Dallas does all my E-6 (of course, they are just a block away). I don't know the specifics of their process, but they have done both my Kodak and Fuji for years without any problems. http://bwc.net/home.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerald_di_giampaolo Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I use Dale Labs in Hollywood, Florida for my 120 and 35mm E6 and C41. They do a nice job. Mailers and pricing are available from their web site. Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
