Seattle Film Works Process SFW-XL

I hate to admit it, but I founds four rolls of exposed file with Process: SFW-SL on the canister. Where does a person send these to get them developed? I searched several photograph news groups but there is very little information that isn't over 6 years old. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Some advice that I find says the film is old movei film. Others have stated that it is C-41. The local labs won't touch it. What is a person to do to get these rolls developed? Thanks in advance, djs SFW changed its name some years ago and I think they are still in business. The SFW film was movie film long long ago but it has been more than 10 years since they converted to C41. Likely you have C41 but because they deliberately labeled their film to be confusing so that you would send it to them for processing, most photofinishers won't touch any SFW film just in case it MIGHT be the old stock. The other post I saw recommended Dale and they used to process the old movie film, so they would probably do your film. -- Michael | "He's dead, Jim." |

SFW originally sold respooled movie film and processed it to negative, as it is supposed to be, and then made prints and also printed on positive film to provide slides. They were kind of lousy and had to be developed either by SFW or by Dale or other such companies, because the jet backing on the movie stock would gunk up commercial processors. Then SFW started selling regular C41 film and doing the same process, but they implied it was different so you'd have to go to them for processing. The downside was that even though ANY commercial processor could process the film, they were all afraid of it because of the old days of the movie stock. I THINK what you've got is the newer C41 film, but cannot be sure. Rocky Mountain photo labs will process it if it's the movie stock, but at about $35 plus dollars aroll. -- Michael |

If they are "BH" perfs which look like this _ (_) then you definitely have motion-picture camera film. If they are "KS" perfs that look like this _ |_| (same as perfs on standard 35mm still film), then it is not motion-picture camera stock. - Scott |

The film can be processed in the USA by DaleLabs (according to Photoworks) but there was no mention of that or any other ECN-2 service on their website. I don't think Rocky Mountain has an ECN-2 line anymore either, but I do not have confirmation. Hopefully this information has been useful! Thank you! I will occasionally use Fuji Eterna 500T in my still cameras, which is also ECN2. At least as of a few months ago, Dale Labs still offered the service, as does "The Camera Shop" in St. Cloud, MN (http://www.thecamerashop.com). AandI photo has announced that they will discontinue the service as of May 31, 2008, but one can still sneak in under the wi http://www.aandi.com/film_pro2.htm -- Michael Benveniste -- (Clarification required) Legalize Updoc. |
