Where to develop B&W film in London?
I'm looking for a good address to have Black&White 35mm film developed
in London. I tried Jessops but they took 2 weeks and the negatives had lots of calcium deposits on them. Any suggestions? |

I tried Jessops but they took 2 weeks and the negatives had lots of calcium deposits on them. Any suggestions? Although this doesn't belong to rec.photo.digital, the traditional way is to do it yourself.Buy a developer, some stop bath, some fixer, a changing bag, a 35 mm tank and an apprentice's darkroom book and you 're all set.IMHO that's the reason that (almost) everybody has gone digital, you don't have all the hassle and you do all the processing with your computer, and anyway what you gonna do to print your B&W photos? -- Tzortzakakis Dimitrios major in electrical engineering mechanized infantry reservist dimtzort AT otenet DOT gr |

Any suggestions? Developing your own black and white film is a lot easier than you might think. There are a lot of "how to" sites on the Web. Here are a couple. http://photography.about.com/library...white%20 film http://www.ehow.com/how_1353_develop-black-white.html You will either find the process rewarding or a hassle. I find it enjoyable. Are you going to scan or print your negatives? Chromogenic B&W films an alternative to traditional silver emulsions. They are processed in C-41 chemistry, so you can drop them off at the nearest minilab and get negatives and prints. Use the prints as proofs and print or scan the negatives. Here's an article. http://photography.about.com/library.../aa090202d.htm SW |

Here's an article. http://photography.about.com/library.../aa090202d.htm SW I haven't done B&W in many years, but I ran many rolls of Panatomic-X through Agfa Rodinal (both, I'm sure, NLA) after loading into a tank in a changing bag. Temperature regulation was the hardest part. My daughter, who is an artist, loves B&W and uses the chromogenic film you mentioned; she takes it to a minilab and gets great results. She has several 8x10s and 8x12s framed and hanging in her house. Having an artist's eye certainly doesn't hurt, I must say. The downside in my case is that whenever I want to do film I have to go and get my old Canon EOS Elan from her. (This post really kept the spellcheck busy.) Allen |

If you are just looking to get the negatives developed then doing yourself is likely to be the best bet. A changing bag and a development tank are what you will need, no need for a darkroom. If you have hard water then keeping a bit of distilled water on hand for a final rinse and help with spotting. Scott |
