alpenglow Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Greetings all, It seems that pro labs that still process film via dip and dunk are droping like flies... especially those that still do C-41. The lab I used for years just fell and I'm searching for a new one (via mail-order). I shoot mostly 120 film, and both E-6 and C-41. I do alot of night photography, and it's critical that my negs are handled with great care as to avoid any scratches. Can any of you provide reccomendations for such labs and your experiences with their services? Many thanks, Mike K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drjedsmith Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Actually, there is a Pro Lab here in Anchorage that does a lot of mail-order as well as drop off work. They have a $250,000 custom made to order Refrema processor, for Both E-6 AND C-41 film. A quote from one of their ads, "ALL Our Film Processors Are Dip And Dunk Machines, NO Roller Marks At Our Lab!"<BR><BR> I can say from experience that their work is excellent, but they are not cheap. You won't see any scratches or chemical stains on your film...but it costs money for that kind of quality, so I have to admit I don't use them all the time. Here is their address and phone number if you're interested - maybe they could fax you a price list or something? I'm pretty sure they do every kind of film under the sun.<BR><BR> PhotoWright Labs<BR> Quality Professional And Amateur Photo Processing<BR> 927 West Fireweed Lane<BR> Anchorage, Alaska. 99503<BR> 907-277-0518<BR> <BR><BR> Jed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpenglow Posted November 4, 2006 Author Share Posted November 4, 2006 Thanks Jed, I'll have to check them out. I remember sending some stuff to them many years ago, and I wasn't very impressed. But maybe those issues have changed and I should give them another consideration. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Currie Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 I know that Phototec in Rutland VT does their E6 via dip and dunk. I don't know whether they do for C41 but you could ask. I've recommended this place before. They're very careful and treat amateur and pro customers well. http://www.phototec.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott levine Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Dorian in Arlington MA has dip and dunk for both C41 and E6. Very clean and easy to deal with. DorianLab.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
