Due to the inspiration film shots I have seen on here I have brought myself a 1973 Yashica 35mm camera and am really looking forward to using it. I am old enough to remember a time before digital when film was it, so it is bringing back a memories.
So what I would like to know know is which film processing places you recommend.
I am in Western Australia and know there is a place in the city but I don't get down there very often so would prefer a place that I could send my film to, to get processed.
I will have a go at processing myself as my dad has the stuff but that is a little way off yet (now that will dust of the grey matter to high school media lol)
I not sure about Australia, but here in Ontario Canada I worked at a small professional photo lab where we still did film processing. There are still a few places that do, however with the bigger use of Digital cameras a lot of places that still do film processing will just continue until them machines run down or running them gets to expensive. The place I worked at was only starting the machine up once a week. Larger box stores I believe don't anymore...however quality is poor there anyways. You may just have to call around or search the internet to see what is available in your area. Good Luck!
@batavia thanks April, I appreciate you answering. I have googled and found a few places but it is always good if you get that recommendation from someone who has used them. It is nice to have that reassurance.
That camera is HOT! Lucky you! I live in the middle of no where and there is a drug store that can do C-41 processing, still. That's reg color film. Around here we have to send out B/W. Check online...that's how I found these things out. Once you find out where to get your processing done, there will be no stopping you. ;-) Good luck!
Your probably find more places than you first thought, I live in the ass end of nowhere but still have a choice of 3 stores to use. And welcome to your new addiction, believe me it gets that way :)
@5unflow3r thanks, orgeous and in really good condition. it is g I have found a couple of places online so I will use one of those. @38mm I just hope they are good enough to show off ;) I will tag them and have a look at the flickr group. @justeddie oh that is a shame :( thanks :) @trumpetman thanks Mike.
