Houston Lab to process and scan negatives?

[Scott A]

Hello All,
I just recently picked up a 1N and now have a few rolls of Ilford B&W that I want processed and scanned at high res. Can someone recommend a lab to do this?

Thanks in advance,
Scott

They're all going to be expensive on the scanning bit.

I smell Cottage Business. The problem is that you and I are on opposite sides of the Earth, Houston wise. The other problem is that I don't have a dedicated 35mm film scanner. The price would certainly be right.

Best way to do B&W film: Do it yourself. Scanners are cheap.

I'd wouldn't be opposed to buy the scanner but I'm not set up to develop the negatives...

You can get set up to develop B&W for under $100. Way under if you get lucky. Check craigslist. If we weren't so far apaert I would do some film for you.

That's nothing and I'd be willing to drive to learn something when you get back into town. I'll buy the beer...

Cheers!

Fair enough. I'll be in touch next year.

Hey I'm learning developing too.. but I do have some gear that could do it...lmk if you want/need help before venchka comes back... I'm just off dairy ashford and richmond

AZ photo lab near Shepherd and Washington does B&W and E-6 process.

I would serious buy a film scanner though. I am a fan of my Epson V500 which also comes with Abode Photoshop elements, which is quite useful and otherwise costs $80

[Scott A]

Thanks All!

I already have a V500 coming from Amazon as I type. I got a roll of color film back from Sam's the other day. I have an old Epson 4180 but no film holder. However I was able to scan a couple of strips. I'll post in a separate thread...

I also dropped a couple of B&W rolls at Sam's last week as I couldn't wait. Sad think is that I'll have to wait til next week to get them back.

does sam's do b&w procssing? i thought they only did c41 and e6...

I developed 4 b&w rolls last night. took about 1.5-2 hrs. shorter than the weeks wait with sams. i'm still behind from our christmas trip. I have 2 or 3 more rolls to do.

welcome (back?) to the darkside scott.

someone might have some spare tanks and reels for 35mm from the free booty last fall. not sure though.

Sam's & Walmart send out B&W in 35mm and 120/220. Not too sure where it goes, maybe Dwayne's. I gave them one roll of Delta 100 and wasn't pleased. Based on processing Delta 100 myself, the problem might be a mismatch between Delta 100 and my brain. I may not be a Delta 100 person.
