*Only certain films are suitable for E6 Colour Reversal processing. See below
Please note:
We process in 100 ft processing tanks, please contact for pricing should processing a 400ft reel be required. Hand processed film is not as critical as machine processing, the result can demonstrate a small amount dust and occasional variations in development. It can achieve an ‘old film’ look.
We can offer a digital transfer HD Super 8 Scan, (turnaround 4 weeks) please contact for more details.
PUSH PROCESSING – Film shot at a higher ISO than rated need to be push processed, i.e. Tri-X Reversal is normally ISO 250 in daylight, if shot at 500 or 1000 ISO it needs to be push processed by 1 or 2 stops respectively. Unlike colour reversal Tri-X looks less contrasty when pushed.
Cost + 5 for each stop push (i.e. +3 stop = €15)
E6 PROCESS – This is the standard process for Kodak Ektachrome 100D (no. 5285/7285). Other Reversal stocks will shift colour and density in this process. You will need to shoot a test roll and assess the results before committing to processing with E6.
POSTAL SERVICE: We do not yet offer a courier service, standard registered postage is €6.60 For return shipment of large quantities or heavy items we will quote per job. We use AnPost registered postage.
You can also drop and pick up your film from The Darkroom (postal may be charged)
