Transfer only, Mr. 6.

I did process 20 years ago, for about 5 years. High-pressure job or *what*!
You can always re-transfer, but once the film runs through them chemicals, there's no going back. Very glad to be out of that.

Dang. I asked because your site gave per-reel rates, and as you know most places won't develop negative film except in bulk.

I'd enjoy the option of working in the Vision 2 medium on a smaller scale.

Contact Niagara Custom Lab in Toronto and ask if they will do the negative on a per cart basis. They might, and you could send your stuff to Toronto for processing with them and transfer wtih Mitch as a semi-one-stop shop.

Just so you know, I haven't used them. I just know they do the negative (I haven't shot any yet, but that will change soon). Other Toronto shooters can hopefully pipe up. Mitch and Jusetan must have used them by now.

I have seen enough of the negative they have processed to offer my own opinion - it looks fantastic!

[edit] I did shoot 5 rolls that were sent there for processing, so indirectly...

As for customer service, I can at least say I'm looking forward to going there; it should be a pretty neat lab that has an artist's gallery...
