Yes
Stated as above:D

Sorry to be adding to another of those "best place" things, but I have just finished my first ever 2 rolls of slide film (Fujichrome Sensia 36exp!) I was wondering what others views are on the best/cheapest place to get it developed and mounted on slides (and possibly get prints too?)

I usually go to bayeux for normal color reversal, but it would cost quite a bit more than my local snappy snaps for slide film! I was just wondering if there is another "pro" studio that does it for a cheaper price!

also, if already mounted, how hard/costly would it be to go and get prints made at a later date? -if costly or difficult, I will have it done with developing in that case:D

cheers in advance, have a :beer: on me;):D!
 
Isn't it developed ina machine anyways so does it matter who you develop with?

I usually get ma C41 stuff done for £3 at snappy snaps and then scan in the negatives.

Not sure about printing though.

I'd just go to snappy snaps in Wardour Street. It's near to you, they've never scratched a neg or anything, and provided the chemicals are fresh (ought to be, they get quite a bit of traffic through) E6 developing is E6 developing...

Cheers! will be using them in the future, but I happened to be down by the "new" (well, re-branded) jessops down Tottenham Court Rd, so I thought id give em a try.

strange thing is, when I asked in that snappy snaps about price, they said £6 per film, no prints, no slide mounting:thinking: confused me as I was sure it was £3! next time.

I have masses of slide mounts, but I want to get myself a film splicer (with magnifying glass and light box) I can scan in before hand too:D!

cheers for help;)

and if you ever are in the area, you can always send me a message before hand, after college I am free to go togging (and :beer:'in) daily:lol:!

eek! that sounds like a daunting task to me! I am used to B&W developing only....


on an unrelated note, I read a while back on TP about dev'ing E6 film as C-41 process to get weirdo colors. im quite interested in getting that done at some point.
