Anyone used Dwayne's non-Kodachrome services?

Dwayne's has REALLY good prices on 120/220 C41 processing and

proofing. Anyone used them? Thoughts?

 

I'll also call them and ask about 6x9 and post the answer here--their

price list doesn't seem to include a 6x9 price. I know a lot of people

can't machine print that format.

just talked to them--they can print 6x9

[rick_hensil]

and--if you include a note they will print on 4x6 paper instead of the normal 4x5 (which they use for 6x7)

They developed about 30 rolls of film for me.

 

Pros:

-Inexpensive

-Fast

 

 

Cons:

1. Black and white:

-A roll of Ilford delta 100 was destroyed (contax 645)(Initially I thought that there was something wrong with the camera. I developed the second roll of film by myself and proved that I was wrong. The camera was absolutely fine)

-I received nice gray pictures from Agfapan 100 35mm (leica CM)

-They do not put b/w negatives in protective sleeves

 

2. Color:

 

MF (Reala, UC100, Agfa portrait 160) (Contax 645),

-Poor colors, brigtness and contrast

-The last frame is frequently destroyed

-Dust

-Scratches on the film (frequently)

 

35mm(Contax TVSIII, and Olympus OM4t)

I was lucky once. The second time I was out of luck (same problems as MF)

 

I hope that I'm an exception, but I'm not willing to experiment any more.
