ramig Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 I think that was already asked once, but I cannot find the answer. I need names and locations of recommended color labs in Manhattan. I need the negatives to come out REALLY nice, clean and without scratches. I keep getting little scratches, especially on the first few frames of some of the negatives. (btw, could it be the fault of one of the two M6 bodies I use?). thanks for any advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_surowiecki1 Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 A lot of pros use Color Edge on W. 21 St. street between 5th and 6th Avenue, closer to 6th. On the south side of the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_henry4 Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 Hard to picture not being able to find a pro lab in Manhatten. I can remember getting 3 hour turn around on Kodachrome there. However you may have a hard time finding a inexpensive pro lab. Then again I hear business has been way down since 911. Try <p> dr5 inc NYC 307 W 38th st #1910 NY.NY 10018 <p> call(1-242-244-9085) <p> Or check out his web site at (http://www.dr5.com/main html ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramig Posted March 25, 2002 Author Share Posted March 25, 2002 thanks for the comments so far. Alfred, it is not that I did not find a pro lab. I use Duggal, and I love their service. but I get these scratches on my negs. since I scan most of them, it matters allot. I was not asking for names of pro-labs, which I have many, but recommendations for places that will give me perfect negs. thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregory_g._allen Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 Rami, <p> Go to Diapositive on Bond St., just off Lafayette. In my experience working for the 'big names' in NYC, everyone swears by it. Expensive, but worth it. <p> gg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donald_wansor1 Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 To help prevent scratches on negs, my photo processor suggests that exposed film rolls should ALWAYS be put pack in the cannisters. The tiniest piece of grit picked up by the felt edges of the unprotected exposed rolls can badly scratch film. Best, Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
