What Film Labs are you using to process?

I'm kind of excited as tomorrow i'll get back about 6 rolls from a place i've recently discovered called The Darkroom https://thedarkroom.com/

They are pretty fast and affordable but i'm not a huge fan of their website/account portal.

Does anyone have any other suggestions or recommendations for film labs to send your stuff off too? 120 and 35mm formats a must! :D

I'm all about Indie Film Lab in Alabama. Their color work is always spot on. :)

That said, there are *so* many good options including RPL, FIND, LFL, and State. You really can't go wrong.

I send my slide film to a lab called Harmon's in Gainesville, FL. It's the only lab still running E6 in the state. I worked for them briefly right after I finished college and they are very mindful to make sure the chemistry is correct and frequently changed out. FYI, that's where Jerry Uelsmann sends some of his stuff.

My B&W is processed in my bathroom by yours truly.

I've always been happy with Dwayne's Photo.

I just received my first scans and prints back from Richard Photo Lab in Valencia, California - and they're AWESOME! The prints are perfect and the support was great! I had my (second) roll of film developed from them (I had a very bad experience with Dwayne's Photo which ruined my first film roll) and I will continue to use them in the future. www.richardphotolab.com

I am very satisfied with both Richard Photo Lab & The Darkroom. I have heard very good things about http://www.theslideprinter.com/ but haven't tried them.

Im using Indie Photo Lab now. Only issue with Indie is they arent fast. RPL is great too. Ive used Praus Productions in New York as well. All three are excelent.

Most of mine is sent to the kitchen or bathroom and processed by me.

When I was in NYC and didn't have a darkroom I always liked Lexington for black and white and color and Carol labs for slide. Not sure if either of them are still around.

Here in the DC area Chrome is the only professional lab that seems worth anything, and they do good work, but I usually just stick to BW so I can do it myself.

I have used https://thedarkroom.com/ and I recommend them. Fast service.

I'm using my kitchen sick to process both color and black and white film. I love it. The local labs here have messed up my film too many times.

Waiting for my first set of 120 negatives from Ilford Lab Direct.
