Looking for a lab that can process my 500t carts. Would liked to have had them done in the UK but can't find a facility that does negative film, is there one?
If not, where do people recommend that I go? I have 6 carts of 500t, 2 80s Moviechrome carts and 3 90s Ekta 160 carts. If I have to send outside of Ireland then I will most likely be looking for processing and transfer but am not sure who to try.

Anyone here had any film processed or transferred by them? I think I contacted this company a few years back (back when they were called something else???) and their prices weren't what I was expecting. In a bad way.

Most EU labs are actually shipping their film to Andec in Germany. So use one of their agents or send the films to them yourself. Support your local agent and have shipping for less (hopefully/likely) or have them done quicker and spend some more shipping.
Kind regards,

I live in Belfast in the north of Ireland so I don't have a "local" super 8 anything unfortunately. I'm all for supporting labs closer to home though and am fine going through someone else if they ship on to Andec but I'm not sure who offers this facility.
I recently had film some 80s Moveichrome processed by Leo Stehlik and transferred by the guys at Lightbreeze and was really pleased with the results. I was under the impression that Leo only processed reversal film but Pav at Lightbreeze has just suggested that Leo might actually do neg stock as well so will be contacting him tomorrow. Would be cool if I could keep things closer to home for cost and time reasons, not to mention supporting other peoples who are trying to keep the super 8 flame burning - cue Celine Dion music and slow motion images of horses running through fields, auld Celine galloping along in the midst of the other horses.

Re: UK or EU negative film processing?
Hi there, yes, I can process Vision 2/3 negative stock. I did not offer it initially when launching the lab. Low demand on processing this stock does not make justice to commercial aspect of it (you'll prepare certain amount of chemicals in which you could process say 10 - 15 rolls, and you'll only get one or two for processing ... and you have to discard the chemicals after 2 - 3 weeks ... well...
