Hexanon looking sharp.

Hi all, lurked on this thread a while. Good to see so many people shooting film and keeping it alive. I will pluck up some courage to post shots eventually.

Sorry if this has been covered in the past, but I'm looking into postal Dev and scan to try and save some money over the London places. Anyone had good experiences and would recommend any labs that do mail order? Obviously will pay a bit more if the quality is good. I used Metro last time which killed me cost wise and now I have a backlog of 15 films to get through :s

Was looking at these guys - http://www.ag-photolab.co.uk/

I've heard good things about http://www.snapsphotoservices.com/ but never used them myself. Now Genie are gone I think they are the cheapest?

Alternatively try Eye Culture in Bethnal Green (I think) - used by a surprising number of working professionals and cheap as chips.

I used snaps for my 1st 2 rolls of film (c41) and the prints and scans were good and the price reasonable.

I also used http://www.Photoghostlab.com and they did a good job too.

Is it still? I went there for one roll of portra and wasn't exactly a bargain, and took 2-3 days.

Was definitely happy with the results though :)

P.s. the XA2 is an absolute joy to carry around, will whack a few photos up later.

The Long Walk

Nice, thanks for sharing..

I like the first one, and especially the last one!

Thanks tina :)

The last one is the start of a treacherous walk called The Broomway that you can only take at low tide.
The Ministry of Defence use the area as a firing range, the route pretty much unmarked, and the tide can come in at unpredictable angles faster than you can run... But its the only way for non residents to access Foulness Island

Got this back on an otherwise well developed roll of film, any ideas how this happened?
Was using a lens that has fungus, but that lens has produced good results before.

..is this the only frame like that?
In the middle of other (proper) ones, or at beginning or end of the roll?
Does the negative itself look monochrome as well?

End of the roll, swapped to the fungus lens to check how it was doing (have used it on a whole roll previously with good results though)
And I think it looks monochrome as well but I'm not at home to check..

Weird.. can't see the fungus lens being responsible, especially if it gave good results before, and this is the only faulty frame.

Looks like a bad scan to me, also because of the grain / stripey look, also the bright area (above the saddle from left to right) does not look like it's been shot like that.

Take a look at the neg!

Will do!

Vesalius, that Greenwich Sunset is my favourite. Really lovely.

This page has some lovely pictures!

wow, that's one big dog!

£3.50 for dev + scan of colour. Takes like 4 days though which isn't ideal.

But just picked up two rolls from there today and definitely happy with the results!
