Since they are in CA (near SF), shipping might be faster and cheaper.

They also do some great telecine work. But, you could still have them ship it anywhere you please.

Good luck!

Nice! Thanks!

Edit: holy hell they are expensive.

Most of the quality labs are priced within $1.00 of each other.

If E-6 processing quality and turn-a-round is not an issue you can try Dwaynes (drop off at Wall Mart). They are really the only place you can go that makes a significant difference in price from the other E-6 labs.

Good luck!

Evidently Walmart's contract with Dwaynes is only for K40 super-8 and does not include E64, 8mm, 16mm, etc. It has been stated several times by folks who have asked them that they will not process E6 film for the giveaway Walmart price. What they might do if they get one by mistake might be another matter maybe.

Well that sucks. How do you know about that contract difference with K40 and 64T?

I'm not doubting you, I'd just like to know how you found out, because there are a lot of people saying otherwise who convinced me of the opposite, more hopeful, position.

And if it's true, this time I'd like to be really sure.
