B&W processing in Canberra

Postby baboo on Sat Jan 07, 2006 9:14 pm

Hi, just wondering if anyone knows where in Canberra I could get B&W film processed and printed.

I would like to start shooting 'pure' B&W film again and was wondering if there was somewhere I could go to where they will print them out properly without costing too much.

Baboo,

No idea about pro labs or whatever. I imagine that most people who shoot proper B&W (not C-41) probably do their own developing and printing in Canberra (mainly art school)

I'd be interested if you do find a place that specialises in film developing and processing other than the normal Teds/Camera house - I've got some Velvia/Provia to get done at the end of the month.

Velvia and Provia are just E-6 so... do ya'll have any Fuji Platinum's down there?

Usually a non-Kodak photo house will do them.

With regards to black and white, same thing applies... a non-Kodak house is usually what you look for, however you can do it yourself (just get a change bag, a can opener, a tank and the chemicals) or you could buy black & white C-41 and it can go into any film development place you want and it'll still come out in black and white.

Usually most processing places send them elsewhere. I used to got to Black & White Photography in Adelaide when I was living there. Their prints were excellent and even when I moved, I still sent my films back to them.

Unfortunately, it just got to be too much of a hassle. Might go back to that if I can't find a place in Canberra.
