How to choose your film photo lab?
Finding the right lab to develop your film can seem overwhelming at first. Here are some simple tips to help you choose the right one.
1. Check the type of development proposed
Not all labs process all types of film. Make sure they process yours:
-
C41 for color films
-
Black & white
-
E6 for slides
Some also do advanced development, HD scanning or paper printing.
2. Look at the quality and reviews
A good lab is often recommended by the community. Read reviews online or ask around. Check:
-
The quality of the scans
-
The deadlines
-
Care for dandruff
3. Compare prices
Prices vary depending on the service (development only, with scanning, printing, etc.). A low price can mask average quality. Sometimes it's better to pay a little more for a better result.
4. Local lab or by correspondence?
If you don't have a lab nearby, many accept mailings . You send your films, they return the scans by email and the negatives by mail.
5. Take a test
Before sending multiple rolls of film, test a lab with a single film. This will allow you to see if the result is satisfactory for you.
