Hello Group

I am interested in other peoples recommendations on where to get 35mm film processed. I have been using Jessops until now, and have got on well with them until my local branch lost my photos.

Ideally, I would like a reputable, reliable mail order company who will process the film to a good standard, at a competitive price. Free film is not a priority because I like to use my own.

Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance. Cheers.

Yeh – accept Jessop’s apologies and attempts to make amends and IMHO stick with them

If u have a choice of Jessop’s near where you live – go to the one with inhouse image processing

There’s probably less chance of things going adrift that way

Also, Loxley Colour in Glasgow are excellent. I’ve only used them for black and white medium format but the prints were produced quickly and to a high standard — and the prices were good too (around the same or slightly less then Peak Imaging).

I suspect your concept of "a competitive price" is far below what it costs to do the job properly. And therein lies the problem.

People want cheap D+P. People want good D+P. The problem is, they want both at the same time.

"A competitive price" doesn’t sit happily with "to a good standard".

You should decide which is your priority, then ask the question again. If a good standard is your priority I would strongly recommend you try Peak Imaging. But you probably won’t like their prices.
