We're finally doing E6!

We're finally doing E6! Yes it's taken a while, but we like do to things properly and also we're just slow.

For the geeks, its a 'full fat' 6 bath process, and we're providing Noritsu scans as default. Thanks to its stronger less diffused light source, it's generally much better for transparencies than the Frontier.

E6 / Slide will always be less popular than the usual colour negative. In part due to the films cost, and also the high chemical cost, but we've worked hard on keeping pricing affordable without compromising quality.

From £17 a roll for 35mm.

E6 can also be difficult to shoot, with a much narrower latitude. However when the conditions are right, it can look fantastic.
Every film photographer should try shooting a roll of Ektachrome or Velvia at least once!

Price decreases, free format choices, Noritsu scanner choice, 16bit and 4x5 options.

Hope you all had a great Christmas and New Years! 🎄 🎁 🎉 ✨

We’ve been busy working away to bring some much needed improvements to the lab.
Thanks to some wise (read: expensive) purchases last year we’ve managed to significantly speed up and increase our capacity. We’d like to pass on these savings to our customers, so whilst Kodak’s prices may be going up, we hope to cushion this increase somewhat for you!

• No extra charge for pushing or pulling of film for up to 3 stops for colour or B&W.

• Free return shipping on all orders over £25.

• All 35mm colour scan prices are down £1.

  We recognize everyone has individual needs, so gone are the old terms of 'Standard’ and ‘Enhanced’ scans.
  Instead you can choose a scan size of ‘Medium’ or ‘Large’ (the largest the scanner can do).
  And now the choice between Jpeg and Tiff costs no extra and can be chosen for any size scan.
  Sometimes you need medium sized Tiffs or maybe you want large resolution Jpegs, so a few rolls don’t clog up your hard drive. Your choice.
  
  With any option, you’ll get the same attention to detail and correction applied that you would expect from us.

Format choices in any scan size.

No price difference for Jpeg or Tiff scan formats.
All 35mm colour prices down by £1.

We’ve also scrapped the ‘Medium (Standard)’ scan size option for 120/ medium format. Instead we’ll supply Large scans for the same price we used to charge for ‘Medium’ sized scans because who shoots 120 and doesn’t want the extra resolution for free?
As with 35mm you can also choose between Jpeg and Tiff at no extra charge.

We’ve also added a Noritsu HS-1800 to our armoury.
We’ll still be using the Frontier SP300s as default for colour, as in our opinion you can’t beat it’s colour for the majority of cases. But the Noritsu offers a big improvement for B&W scans with higher resolutions of up to 6774 x 4492px for 35mm and greater depth and latitude.

Noritsu HS-1800

Tailor your scanner option of the Fuji Frontier or the Noritsu in your scan preferences, for no price difference.

The Noritsu offers higher resolutions and a different look for colour which we recommend for documentary type photography and when ultimate resolution and sharpness is needed .
A lot has been written on this subject so we won’t go into that here, but you have the freedom to choose this scanner in the scan preferences box. There is no price difference for your scanner choice and yes, you can choose different scanners for different rolls.

With this scanner option we can also offer 16bit scans. These scans are absolutely huge so we’ll be charging £4 extra per roll for this option, please also make sure you have very good internet speed so you can receive them!

It unfortunately can’t do ‘sloppy borders’ for 35mm, so we’ll still default to the Frontier when this option is chosen.

4x5 Large Format

By popular request, we can now do 4x5 processing and scanning for both colour and B&W

We’ve been promising 4x5 processing and scanning for a while now, so we’re happy to announce we can finally offer this for both C41 colour and B&W.
We can provide huge 7300 x 6000px files in Tiff or Jpeg format. We’ll be working on some example images soon.

However we will no longer be offering process only for any film/ process type. We’ve never done a massive amount of this, but we’ve decided to streamline our services to further focus on bringing you the best scans and prints around.

We now offer proof prints!

Since we first ever opened we’ve had requests for prints, despite specializing in only processing and scanning.
Well that has finally changed! We can now offer proof prints in all formats.
We’ve worked hard to provide high quality custom profiled prints, with or without a 1/4” border.
You can also specify a print finish of standard ‘Glossy’,' ‘Luster’ or ‘Matte’ for no extra cost

Just select the option to add 4x6” prints for 35mm for £7 extra per roll.

Or add 6x6” -6x9” prints for medium format for £5 extra per roll

With or without 1/4” border

Tick the check box for a 1/4” border. Or you can specify a figure in the additional comments box.

We are now back open!

We are now back open, business as usual!

’Signed for’ is still not available for the time being sorry, hopefully we can bring this back once the general situation becomes safer.
We can also now return any film internationally. These will be sent as international standard, please let us know if this option isn’t available for your country.
