negatives into slides processing
I seem to remember that some labs can print negatives and also make a set of
slides from the same negs. Who is that? What is the quality? Thank you -- Philippe |

You can find them at http://www.dalelabs.com/ Here is an visual study of Dale Labs results, with 3 images: negative scan, slide-from-neg scan, and similar-scene slide scan. http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=127698 I find quality is more than acceptable (even surprising) given the price. |

Bill, How do the images hold up? I've got some stuff done by another lab, several years ago - when I looked at them recently, they'd faded away to almost nothing. Been in dark storage most of that time - moderate, but not especially controlled temp & humidity. I'd noticed the fading years ago, which caused me to stop using the stuff. Maybe the emulsions are better now, or the Dale processing is superior. What's been your experience? Henry Bibb |

Movie film degrades, but mostly from projection and mishandling. It's probably not as archival as Kodachrome in dark storage, but should have reasonable longevity. Ted Marcus at http://tedsimages.com has been getting Dale Labs slides-from-negs for many years, and has not complained to me about fading. He has some comments and caveats about it he http://www.tedsimages.com/text/comment5.htm#superia |

It's probably not as archival as Kodachrome in dark storage, but should have reasonable longevity. Which stock is it? If it's 2383 or 2393, it's standard LPP (lowfade positive print) stock which has been available (in various forms) since 1982. The earliest prints from 1982 have not shown signs of fading at this time. Stocks beginning with a "2" are 35mm on ESTAR (polyester) base, which does not shrink over time like acetate base stock does. |

According to what I was told at the time, the Escalante Coyote Arch slide-from-neg was scanned from Kodak Vision Color 2382. Sorry, I put the wrong film type on my photo.net scan page. |

Actually they use a film called Vericolor Slide film. It's a clear based C-41 color neg film, then when exposed from a color negative, yields a positive http://www.jonlayephotography.com |

The Wilhelm test results say: "Kodak Vericolor Slide Film 5072 has relatively poor dark fading stability." [ http://www.fotoinfo.com/info/technic...stability.html ] |
