I tried several UK labs a couple of years ago when I restarted with film. Most of them were disappointing but I have found two that provide a very good service. One of them is Harman Labs, who also have a lab in the US. You’ll have to Google it as the Pdml rejects it when I include the link. They own and make Ilford film and processing chemicals. The labs use Refrema dip’n’dunk processing with their own Ilford chemicals, and it all seems very well controlled and consistent. My favourite film is Ilford Delta 100 and 400, so it’s a perfect match. Over here they turn the stuff round pretty quickly. It takes about a week from me posting the freepost envelope to getting the scans, then another day or two to receiving the negs. There’s obviously some dependency on the postal service. They always include another mailer when they return the negs. One of the other labs I use gives you the option of returning the negs in archival sleeves; Harman doesn’t offer this so I just resolve and file them when I get them back. Shoot a few rolls and send them in, see what you think. -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
