I now have my hands on my Contax G2 and have a roll of Velvia at home, so the big question is...

Where do you get your E6 processed? Do you get them mounted or leave them as strips and scan?

I have performed a search but it came up with not a lot. E6 is too short for a search term!
 
I'm going to be returning to Peak Imaging after my experiments with processing my own E6. To be honest, I just don't shoot enough to warrant doing my own processing, and the chemicals end up expiring before I've had my moneys worth.

I usually get 35mm mounted, but leave the 120 in strips and scan them myself (mainly as I don't actually have a 120 compatible projector!)

Thanks Mark. I have no plans on getting a projecor as yet but I think mounting is probably worthwhile if I ever do. My dad also has hundreds of slides, all mounted so a projector (a cheap one at least) may be useful in the future.
 
I use The UK Darkroom and find them very good.

Both for 35mm and 120 slides
 
I don't suppose that anyones used Peak Imaging recently with their new prices? In the past I've always used the single process only return postage option which now costs £1.75 but the other day they charged me the full £3.50 for a 35mm process and mount yet it doesn't say anywhere that mounting excludes you from the reduced postage fee. (Cost £10.44 in total! :bang: )
If anyones had a 35mm process and mount how much did they charge you for postage? I hope it was just a mistake as they do an excellent job usually.
 
Another shout for The Darkroom, they have always been very good with mine and the turnaround time iis pretty speedy :thumbs:

Its in Leeds, I work in Leeds, I call on a morning, throw my 120 at them and pick em up in the evening on my way home....thus eliminating the postal service..:cool:

I'd only noticed today that they put up their prices so much as I've been saving a bunch of films to send in at once.

Was £3.44, now £4.44 for 35mm 36 exp process only
Was £3.19, now £4.13 for 120 process only

without the postage.

:runaway:

I've used them exclusively for ages and I've been recommending them to anyone who asked, but I may have to consider other options.

Fuji have increased the price of their chemicals recently so a lot of labs are having to raise their prices as Fuji pretty much dominates the market these days with processing equipment and chems.

I find The UK Darkroom very good for transparencies. In the past Genieimaging did not process E6 so I was using Genieimaging only for C-41 (because of a very attractive price + you can get quite cheap scans) and The UK Darkroom for E6 .

I've just checked Genieimaging web site and it looks like they have started to process E6.

My local Jessops do E6 developing - a 1 hour service. Handy when I can't be arsed to develop them myself, in which case I use Tetanal. The nice thing with slides is you only need a changing bag and a tank.
