black & white film

[colm q]

i'm from dublin, ireland and was in texas, usa a couple of weeks ago. i got myself some black & white kodak tri-x reversal film 7278. usually when i buy super colour film here in ireland it comes with envelope to send off for processing, but with this film it says on box "kodak does not provide the processing service. ask your kodak representive for processing information."

all advice welcomed.

What kind of advice are you looking for?

Hi Colm,

There are a lot of independant processing companies. Find a really good, professional photographic processing shop in Dublin, and, chances are, they will process the film for you or be able to tell you of somewhere to take it.

There are lots of places here in Soho you could send it for processing, but I guess you should look in Dublin first.

Good Luck. Sorry I can't help you with an address. You'll find somewhere...

I send all my black & white (all I shoot now) to Andec in Germany. The visa number and exp date are in each letter and after a while film comes back. I'm very happy with the service on fomapan and Cine-X (plus-x reversal all)

Please post if you find another lab closer, thanks.

Hi Colm,

The full address is:

Andec - Filmtechnik
Hasenheide 9
D-10967 Berlin
Germany

Include your visa number, experation date, Name on the card, and your return address. It works for me. The web address is that blue line of text in my first reply. www.andecfilm.de

"Cheers, bye"

Michael, there are a few places that process in Soho. Pro8mm for example [img]confused.gif[/img] I took a tri-x to a shop on Wardour Street, and it cost me ?7, which I thought was amazing really, but that was 3 years ago. Do you send film to Andec because they're good, or because they're cheap, or both, or because you don't know of anywhere nearer. Perhaps "near" isn't much of an advantage anymore, if you have to post it anyway....

Hi Michael,

Theres also the widescreen centre in London, I think b/w processing costs about ?11.

The site is,

http://www.widescreen-centre.co.uk/cine.html

Not sure how you go about getting the processing form, I'd email them and ask if i were you and all the contact information is on the site. I thought this would at least save you the postage costs to Germany.

Hi there,

I don't know of anywhere else to send them. Widescreen just sends them to the same place; I don't know if it'd be any cheaper to send to Widescreen; its not much as it is. Bristol Cine does the same thing, sends it to Andec. Now, Bristol is really close. I just thought that I'd eliminate the middle and send just to one place instead of sending to a close place, they sending to the far place, and back the same way...

anybody know a UK place?
