patrick_mont Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Hi Guys-<br />For some of you this is not a big loss, but this Friday July 31, Dale Labs will no longer make a set of slides from a roll of negative film for you. This worked well for me on some occasions. They did a pretty good job. They said the the machine that they have left after 30 years of service eats to much electricity, water, is becoming an environmental hazard and is failing them. This is the service that made Dale big years ago. They will now make a set of prints from a roll of E-6 instead. <a href="http://www.dalelabs.com/" target="_blank">www.Dalelabs.com</a> __________________<br />Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrydressler Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 <p>I did use this service from time to time. Though I have not used it in years. It is another option off the block.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_shriver Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 <p>Probably means that they are shutting down the Eastman Color Print and Eastman Color Negative lines. They probably won't process movie film anymore as well.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timothy_gray Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 <p>Does DR5 in Colorado offer this service? I know they can do it for B&W:<br> http://www.dr5.com/</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_mcferren Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 <p>The DR5 processes black and white film in a way that it becomes a reversal film, so that process does not apply to color.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ted_marcus1 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 <p>Patrick, where did you hear about this? I just visited their Web site and found nothing to indicate they were discontinuing slides from negatives.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick_mont Posted July 30, 2009 Author Share Posted July 30, 2009 <p>I heard about this after calling them on the phone. Their mailers now say N/A on the area for this service. Give them a call at 1-800-327-1776.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrydressler Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 <p>I need to find a reasonable place to process 16mm movie film I just got a B&H camera with 5 lenses and finders for under $20.00. Finding film is no problem I have some already B&W and Color... Even $30 per 100' seems reasonable for processing to me.</p> <p> I know off topic but this thread reminded me.</p> <p>Larry</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ted_marcus1 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 <p>I just called them and spoke to Elaine (I think she's Dale's wife). She said the ancient machine that printed the slides was failing and replacement parts were no longer available, so they only recently decided to discontinue the service. They were also in the process of updating the Web site. Other things she told me suggested that their company was struggling. Such a shame, as they did very good work for me in the past.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick_mont Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 <p>Dale has always done me very well but they are rather expensive.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
